## What is Paint Runner?

The Fade has washed the color out of the islands. Grab your paint, call your crew, and bring them back to life!

TAP TO THROW
Your crew of paint blobs waits on the bridge. Tap to send one flying at the tower: a bare brick splashes with color, a wall ends the run. Time it right, land it dead center, and it's a Perfect!

BRING THE ISLANDS BACK
Every tower you paint pours color back over its island: palm trees, huts and coral reefs pop back to life and the shallows turn turquoise again. Watch your archipelago grow island after island, and finish a whole world for a fireworks finale.

10 WORLDS, 100 LEVELS
From the Blue Lagoon to the Candy Isles, the Moonlit Sea, the Ember Sea and the Prism, every world has its own music and a new twist: twin rings, flip towers, ghost walls, big balls, two-color floors, shutters and clockwork walls.

RESCUE YOUR CREW
Each world you restore frees a new friend from the Fade. Dress your crew with skins and paint trails: stripes, sleepy eyes, a crown, a flower, hearts, a comet...

THEN THE OPEN SEA
Finished the worlds? Sail into the endless Open Sea. How far can you paint?
