Paint Run
Paint Run is a fun game where you have to collect paint in red, green, and blue splotches to restore color to some vandelized paintings.
Roll down the street with simple tilt to steer controls and watch the paint levels in the corner to try and mix red, green, and blue to get the perfect colors for each painting.
You can even get your own artwork in the app by going to www.paintrungame.com and submitting it!
