there are different insects in various regions of the map with unique behaviors. the 'sparrow-bugs' in the west fly away when startled, but you can sneak under them by swimming in paint.pic.twitter.com/WyyBW7ft2C

when you leave paint on water, the colors slowly distort and move around.pic.twitter.com/1YARTggEnA

paint in a windy area, and the paint will slowly streak and spread with the direction of the wind.pic.twitter.com/la3ITxDdD6

paint geysers typically run out of paint and shrink after a short time. but this interaction was annoying in windy areas, so they never run out of paint there.pic.twitter.com/0nQRNK2DoG

bouncing on a mushroom, getting thrown by a bomb explosion, and jumping all send the player the same distance, using the same sound and animation. we did this so that the player would be used to the jump ability before they can actually use it.pic.twitter.com/3IN3ihmirs

after finding every brush power, the player's paint-swimming speed is about 30% faster, making back-tracking extra speedy in the postgame if they're painted a lotpic.twitter.com/oLWaLMwavb

after landing from the air, the player character shakes and can't move for a short amount of time. it's nearly imperceptible from small heights, but gets longer from higher elevations.pic.twitter.com/FHZitkyvRk

you can "cancel" the landing delay by jumping on or just before the frame when you land, allowing the player to "chain" jumps to go faster than usual.pic.twitter.com/McQOa4oqX0
