Painting Games

Grab a virtual brush and mess with color without worrying about ruining anything. That's the whole deal with painting games - you get to splash, spray and coat things that would be a nightmare to paint in real life, and here it costs nothing to try.

Start with Cool Tuning - Paint the Car if you want your color choices to actually matter on something big - pick your shade, watch a whole car transform. Prefer something smaller and more personal? DIY Phone Case Maker lets you design a case exactly how you want it. And if you'd rather aim your color than just apply it, Arkanoid For Painters turns a classic paddle-and-ball setup into a painting job, while Color Brawls throws competition into the mix.

There's even a game about painting a hoof, because this tag doesn't take itself too seriously - it just wants you to have fun with color in whatever shape that takes. All of it plays free, right in the browser, no download standing between you and the paint bucket.

These sit close to Arcade games and Action games if you want the reflex side of things once the color's dry.
