Rollo and the Brush Bros

About this game

Rollo and the Brush Bros is a remake of the classic arcade/Atari 2600 game Amidar, blending elements of Pac-Man and Qix into a unique and nostalgic experience. The game tasks players with painting around the board to draw boxes while avoiding enemy paint brushes. Despite its CGA-era graphics and annoying PC speaker sounds, Rollo and the Brush Bros captures the essence of the original and offers a brief but enjoyable trip down memory lane for fans of retro gaming. Gameplay: The gameplay in Rollo and the Brush Bros is straightforward yet challenging: Paint the Board: Move Rollo (the roller) around the grid to paint lines and complete boxes. Draw Boxes: Successfully enclosing an area with painted lines completes a box, earning points. Avoid Enemies: Dodge the Brush Bros, enemy paintbrushes that roam the board and can eliminate Rollo on contact. Power-Ups: Occasionally, power-ups appear that can temporarily stun or slow down the Brush Bros, giving players a chance to catch their breath. The game’s mechanics are simple but require quick reflexes and strategic planning to maximize points and survive. Visuals and Sound: The graphics are CGA-style, with limited colors and blocky designs that are typical of early PC games. While they may not be visually impressive by modern standards, they evoke a sense of nostalgia for the era. The sound design, however, is less forgiving, with PC speaker sounds that can be grating over time. Despite this, the audio adds to the retro charm of the game.
