Description Painter
Painter is a variation of the classic Amidar, originally created for arcades in 1981. The gameplay of Painter is very similar to that of Amidar's bonus stages, where the traditional squares on the screen have associated dots. It can also be compared to Potty Painter in the Jungle, which was one of the first variations of Amidar for ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.
The main objective of Painter is to fill all the squares in each box within a certain period of time by completing the paths (lines) around them. This must be done before the 'Bonus' value reaches zero. To complicate things, the 'Painter' has to avoid any collision with the 'Pursuers', entities present in the game that will try to intercept him and destroy his work. The 'Painter' will be forced to restart the phase again and will lose one of his lives in the process.
To defend himself during his game and especially against the incredible speed that the 'Chasers' can reach in the last skill factors of the game, the player has in his possession a special tool: a gap creator. This weapon will create a temporary gap in the lines of the road preventing the 'Chasers' from colliding with it. It can only be used three times at a time before any temporary gap is removed.
The skill factor limit of Painter is 6. The intelligence and speed of the 'Chasers' will increase proportionally to the skill factor and dramatically at this point in the game. Prepare to be ambushed.
