Painted Peril

Painted Peril is a roguelite adventure starring Sylvia the Squirrel. After a powerful color magician steals her house and throws her into the vast cave system below, you guide Sylvia from the bottom of the caves back toward her home tree, climbing through randomly generated levels and facing different challenges on each run. Defeat sends you back to the start.

Shape and color spells

You combine colors with magical bottles to shape your spells. Each color adds its own effect to a bottle’s spell, letting you create combinations such as yellow lightning chains or orange flames. Bottles can produce different spell behaviors, including lingering traps, explosive bombs and missiles that fire whenever you are hurt. You choose which colors to mix and which bottles to use as you adapt to different enemies.

Explore the caves

The caves contain varied environments, secret paths, artifacts and structures. You can meet the critters that live there, help them and receive help from them. Each climb takes you through a different arrangement of randomly generated levels.

Items and builds

You collect a wide variety of items that can be stacked to create builds and synergies, enhancing Sylvia’s abilities and chances of survival. Experimenting with items, colors and bottles lets you develop spell combinations with different behaviors and effects.
