Crazy Canvas

Crazy Canvas is a Capture the Flag First Person Shooter with a twist, all enemies are invisible. The players are all equipped with paint shooting guns which can color everything in the world and the enemy players. By watching reflective surfaces like mirrors you can see your opponents and take the shot. When an enemy is covered in enough paint they die.

Crazy Canvas is designed from scratch during a 14 week period using a custom Vulkan engine (LambdaEngine) as a starting point.
