Description
This is a
platformer where the player controls a Peter, a painter who has
to paint all paintable areas in each level to advance while
avoiding various people, bombs, and other creatures. The gameplay
is like a combination of Elevator Action and Crush Roller
since there are elevators and ladders that the player must climb
and avoid. There are objects that if Peter touches, he will be
unable to paint & will start flashing. If he passes by the
maid, she will instead flash and Peter can paint again, but will
have to
paint over the streaks the maid makes.

Note: There seem to be graphics glitches in this game. I'm not sure if the timer is working 100% in the Max-a-Flex System, since it never seems to reach 0.
