Painters is a simple multiplayer action game in which the person or team who colors the most percentage of the board in their color gets the most points. You color an area by simply moving over it with your guy. The only problem is there is 3 other guys moving over what you colored changing it to their color. You can play one player against 3 computer or any combination but there is always 4 players. You can play single or teams. In the single games there is 4 rounds and the person with the most points after the fourth round wins. In team play red and yellow verses blue and green in 3 rounds.

There are some items that you can pick up that will help you. The items are Watch which stops other players for a while, Boots which makes you run faster until you collide with other players, Big Bomb which covers a large area in your color, and Small Bombs which makes small squares of your color all over the board. The controls are (Blue) Cursor Keys, (Red) 'W', 'A', 'D', and 'S' (or 'X'), (Yellow) Mouse, and (Green) Joystick.

This freeware game is very fun and addicting. What I like most about it is it is a great game for young children as well as the ability that more than one can play at a time. The only problem I had with it is when I tried to enable the sound it would freeze my computer.
