plasher is the upcoming indie game from Romain Claude – a guy you can pretty much trust when it comes to creating games that you will enjoy because he has personally had a hand in the development of big gaming titles from Ubisoft. This venture is in the form of a 2D platformer that will see you take on the role of a cool guy who is out to rescue his fellow colleagues in the very evil Inkorp factory. You will be armed with a paint cannon. The different paint colours have the ability to help you do certain things. For example you can stick to walls with the one paint and jump with the other. Your use of the paints will have to be thought through in order for you to make it out alive and get your companions out too. As is when it comes to levels, there will be an increased difficulty as well more people to rescue on the way. Throughout the factory are traps that are in their own way quite humourous as well as challenging. You can survive having made it through a trap of saw blades only to get your ass handed to you by a chubby pig-looking creature. Oh, and the nice feature of dying (which will happen a few times, trust me on this), your blood is green. This game has a lot of unique and quirky elements that add to its character and possible enjoyment. The game utilizes simple visuals that are an essential practicality when it comes to creating the atmosphere of the setting as well as keeping a nice focus on the paint splashing everywhere. It is a canvas. g
