The player moves around a fixed rectilinear lattice, changing the color of the lines, while avoiding enemies. Coloring all the lines around a rectangle fills it in. When all the rectangles have been filled, the player moves to the next level. There are two types of levels which alternate, with the player controlling a paint roller in one and a gorilla in the other.
