Call Of Bob Ross
> *"Welcome back, I think you'll enjoy litlle painting we're gonna do, and I hope you'll take the time to paint along.*
> *Or, you pull your easy chair, and you just relax with us."*
___________________________________________________________
These are the words of the master of painting: Bob Ross!
We decided to combine two types of games: a creative game, in which you have to use your brain in order to create some FUCKING great piece of ART, and a first person shooter, where you just want to appease your soul by KILLING everything.
Hit the divine Color Cube to [SPOILER] pick a color and press the red button to spawn some mobs.
These mobs are your precious painting ressource, so be sure to kill them to fill your canvas.
To do that, you have three weapons: the hammer, the grapnel, and the shotgun (obviously, basic material for a painter).
Each weapon will make a different splash on the canvas, and the color will depend on the enemy.
You only have one objective in this game : Have FUN, CREATE something that you like and SHARE it with others on Twitter using the Hashtag : #CallOfBobRoss
We can't wait to see your creations! :D
Pro tips: you can spawn an infinite number of monsters, and kill them all (not sure your canvas will be a good one, but who knows?), or spawn only a few monsters of a specific color, in order to let your mind do the job.
Pro tips #2 : Hold the click with your hammer to smash with MORE POWER
Pro tips #3 : Use "P" to save your art!

Hahaha this is perfect ! I can now die in peace.
To be more constructive, I would say I loved the basic concept, and laugh at it for five good minutes, but it's finally quite frustrating because trying to draw he simpliest thing quickly become a long and tedious task. Just as an example, making the splash longer when you shoot an insect with your shotgun would allow the player to make lines more easily, and the experience would become way cooler.

Hehe, nice combo =) But I couldn't draw anything, may be if the monsters could spawn in some predefined shapes would be easier, don't know...

I've honestly never listened to Bob Ross before, but I can see now why everyone finds his voice so calm and relaxing. And yet somehow you've managed to take his quotes, pull them out of context, and make them sound genuinely sinister and/or badass.
I'm no good at art, especially when it's being made by splattering things, but I still had a lot of fun with this. One glitch I noticed was that occasionally, enemies would run around in circles at the spawn point and clip through the walls. It also would have more intuitive, I think, if you had keyboard inputs for cycling the colours. Maybe that's just me though.

Haha so cool with the music I couldn't help myself to shoot in rythm with the music and it feels so gud, so I had a lot of fun painting nothing because I'm so bad... One thing is I don't know if I could stop the wave, there was bugs everywhere ! Nice game and experience ! gg !

Ahhhhahahaha brilliant mash up! I was laughing so hard just downloading the game; 5 stars for humor. I do agree with the others posting here, that it is a bit tough to get a "good" painting made. Fun as hell though.

Damn, that was fun 😄 Sadly i'm not as good of a painter, as master Bob. But i've tried my best...

Lovely idea! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCS-SbQWjlE

Very promising idea, good job!

This is extremely well made game. I love the concept so much. The different weapons are great. If you expand upon the game I would love to see different types of bugs like flying bugs and more weapons like a rocket launcher. This game is so much fun. I am excited to see where this goes. Fantastic Job!

Love this game, and would really enjoy seeing it expanded with more weapons, bugs, etc!! You nailed the theme right on the head, game-play was smooth, graphics and sound were good, excellent job!!

Concept is nice and controls are nice and intuitive.
Might be nice in the future with different kinds of weapons (e.g. to kill lots at a time)

Overall really fun game.
