Tag: The Power of Paint is a 2008 puzzle-platform game. The game was developed for Microsoft Windows by Tag Team, a group of students from the DigiPen Institute of Technology. The game's core mechanics is the use of a special paint sprayed from the player's paint gun to impart physical properties to surfaces, which, in turn, affect the user's movement. Tag won the Independent Games Festival Student Showcase award in the same year. The project team was hired by Valve, using the concepts of Tag as new puzzle elements in their game Portal 2.

Runs well on modern hardware.

I remember playing this game as a very young child I cannot believe it was only 15 minutes long (and I honestly took my time sometimes) It had such a profound impact on me its honestly the reason I am so invested in puzzle games and am so comfortable with first person and gravity changing surfaces I am so glad this game has been uploaded to steam!
Gameplay is very fun, The music is also nice. Great game!
from what i remamber gabe saw this game and hired the dev team on the spot and its deserved 9/10
