ISSUES WITH NETWORK: The network game isn't working fully yet. You can still select it from the menu to connect to a friend and chat. When you try to disconnect, the game will end. I had to because there was problems with the graphics. I wouldn't recommend you starting network unless you're interested to see what's it gonna be like.

ADVANTAGES:

LIFE BARS:
The red bar in your Color's stats. If this goes empty, your brush will disappear for a moment, but in that moment you will not be able to paint, collide, or get items. This would put you at a big disadvantage. So, always try to regain your life.

LIFE REGAIN:
Your life will gradually recover over time, but slowly. To regain it faster, go into the white circle in the middle of the screen. Your life will recover 5x faster.

COLLISION:
Colliding with your opponent may be helpful. It's like a battle, but the lucky one will win since every hit will take random damage. Flee if your life is low. But maybe you can come back if you feel lucky. Also, collide into them to disable there use of the item or make them lose there item. Read more on the ITEM LOSS and ITEM BREAK section

ITEMS:
Appears in the circle on your stats screen. Items in the game can give you an advantage if you're behind. But it now depends on when you play it and where. Items will help you paint more, but theres more to it. Some items may be used to hurt your opponent. It can take more life away then just colliding with them. Read more about your life in the game in LIFE BARS section.

ITEM BAR:
This is the blue bar, underneath the life. The determines how long your item will last. Depending on what item you have, it may gradually decrease or disappear instantly, once you activated it with Space Bar.

SPECIALS:
This makes the item even more useful. But you have to stock your item and get the next one that appears. If you fail, your item will be stolen. Items will stock automatically.

ITEM STEAL:
This appears when you grabbed a item, when somebody was trying to get a special.

ITEM LOSS:
When you item suddenly stops because you collided with somebody. Items such as, Big Brush, Boost, Time Stop, etc.

ITEM BREAK: When there hit and they lose life. The item will be disabled momentarily. But when their life goes empty. There item will disappear causing an ITEM BREAK.

ERASER: This item is difficult to achieve. To achieve it, you must stock a special and get the next item again. Once you get it, it will automatically be used.
