How to play Paint Rush
Your blob races forward on its own and paints the track behind it. Switch between lanes to line up with what is coming: colour gates, colour walls and black ink walls.
Diving through a colour gate changes your blob to that colour. A colour wall only breaks if you hit it in the same colour, so the trick is to pick up the right colour just before the wall. Black ink walls never break: always go around them.
Paint drops and skins
Paint drops 💧 are scattered along the track. Collect them to unlock new blob and trail skins in the 🎨 menu at the top.
The run is endless and keeps getting faster. When you crash you can watch a short ad to revive, and after a run you can double the drops you collected the same way.
Tips and tricks
- Look two obstacles ahead: the gate you need is usually right before the wall it opens.
- Stay in the middle lane when nothing is coming, so every other lane is one move away.
- Black walls are the real danger. Dodge first, then worry about colours.
- Quick swipes are more precise than long ones at high speed.
