Paintown – Side-scrolling, Action Packed Game

Paintown

Paintown is a 2D side-scrolling beat-em-up game in the same genre as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Sega Genesis game, Streets of Rage.

This game is completely written from scratch and uses a modular system for loading new graphics.

The game features Adventure (street side-scrolling fighting) and versus mode (1 on 1 battles).

There’s also a character editor and level editor. New characters, stages and enemies can be easily created. This makes the game extensively customizable, in the same spirit of games like Mugen.
