Brush Hour

Brush away the flaws, or face the king.

In "Brush Hour", you're a Romantic-era painter tasked with pleasing the king. He despises anything unpleasant, so use your trusty brush to erase the bad. Reimagine the world with our handcrafted shader into a romanticized vision. But beware: reality creeps back in. Rotten trees and other flaws will pierce the illusion. Keep the corruption away, or face the king’s wrath. Good luck!
