Telepaint

Telepaint is a game about paint and teleporting. There's a little bucket with legs that's full of paint, and it's up to you to guide that bucket to a waiting paintbrush. How do you do that? By connecting together portals. The bucket moves forwards automatically, so you don't have long to tap the portals to send it to different parts of the level.

To start with you're going to be dealing with a couple of portals and not much else, but as the game progresses there are more and more obstacles, and more and more portals, for you to try and get past. There are magnets, there are multiple buckets, and there are other surprises waiting for you too.

Telepaint is one of those games that works best on mobile. Its short levels and simple controls let it spread its wings in other directions, and those directions make for some of the most interesting action puzzling that mobile has to offer.
