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.

Guys we found The Power of Paint, time to Tag. Short game that inspired the gels in Portal 2, here you get to use one of them that didn't make the cut, adhesion paint!! Very disorienting but super fun to use. If you want a game like this that is actually set in the Portal universe you should play Aperture Tag
this was so awesome it played so well and like it had really cool puzzles
dosnt save your progress. 2/10
