Welcome to Paint Run, a browser-based arcade game. Click play, wait a moment for it to load, and you are in. Arcade games are designed around the loop, and Paint Run has a good one — short attempts, instant restarts and a score that begs to be beaten. Its tags tell you what to expect: it is a runner — your character moves forward automatically and you steer, jump or dodge; it is filed in the collection that traditionally appeals to girls, though the gameplay is for everyone.

Tips and tricks
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Because this is a Girls game, take your time with creative choices; there is rarely a wrong answer in this kind of game.
