You are Bob Ross, a great painter and businessman. But power corrupts you, and to pursue your greedy goals, you become a monster. You must now become the richest Bob Ross in the world.

In order to do so, you must collect and sell the most valuable asset in the universe: the Wilderness Trail™ paintings. And to do that, you must hunt down and capture as many Wild Bob Rosses as you can, to bring them back to your sweatshop and enslave them.

The more enslaved Rosses you have, the more Wilderness Trail™ paintings you produce. The Wilderness Trail™ paintings are used as ammunition, currency and food, so manage them well. If you starve, you die.

Beware of the Military Bob Rosses. They will pursue you and kill you for attempting to enslave Wild Bob Rosses.

This game was originally a submission to the Paint Jam 2018! It was updated in 2022 to include new features, quality of life improvements, bugfixes and much more in the Rossurrection Update (more information below).

Have fun!

WASD = Movement
Shift = Sprint
Spacebar = Jump
Left Mouse = Fire Wilderness Trail™ paintings
Right Mouse = Eat Wilderness Trail™ paintings
E = Pick up Wilderness Trail™ paintings / Carry sleepy Bob Rosses
R = Drop sleepy Bob Rosses / Purchase Upgrades
Q = Whip Slave Rosses (if such skill is owned)
Esc = Pause game

- Wilderness Trail™ paintings serve as both ammunition and food. Keep an eye at your food meter and make sure it doesn't reach 0, otherwise you're dead. 

- Use the Wilderness Trail™ paintings as ammunition to make Wild Bob Rosses unconscious, then drag their bodies to your sweatshop to enslave them. They will begin to produce more Wilderness Trail™ paintings for you, the more slaves the better.

- Defend yourself against the Military Bob Rosses. Shoot Wilderness Trail™ paintings at them to kill them and make sure they don't hit you! You will only be able to take so much damage until you drop dead.

- Put your hard-earned Wilderness Trail™ paintings to use as currency, and purchase newly-added skills and upgrades to become the strongest Bob Ross the world has ever seen.

- Try to set a high score! And remember: what can be painted, can be punished.

(Note: if you're struggling, you can access a comprehensive "How to Play" guide in both the Main Menu and Pause Menu in the Rossurrection Update, complete with images!)

Paint Jam Challenges Completed

• Make a 3D game only using flat images. No meshes except for like the world/levels.
• Make all your own sound effects using only sounds you can make with your mouth? We made all the sound effects with our mouths, but forgot to replace ONE placeholder sound (walking) in the end. I hope it still counts.

   Years ago, at 2018's Paint Jam, Bob the Ross was unleashed upon the world.  Inspired by masterpieces such as Cookie Clicker and Doom,  the original version was made in less than 48 hours, and can still be downloaded below. The project, however, haunted our minds for years to come.

   Horrific nightmares of new features, knowledge of bugs and glitches that plagued our subconscious for months, and the absolute certainty that the true, full potential of the game was yet to be seen. It is now 2022, and our curse has finally been broken. We are free from Bob the Ross' clutches, but at what cost? You might want to see it for yourself...

   A myriad of new features have been added to the game in the Rossurrection Update, such as a fully-fledged upgrade system, allowing the player to purchase skills during gameplay to become increasingly stronger.

   Alongside the new content, the game has received tons of bugfixes, quality of life upgrades, performance optimizations and other general improvements. You can check out the patch notes for the full list of changes in our latest devlog.

Is it the end for Bob the Ross? Only time will tell...
