Quick summary

Paint Chips is a fast-paced 2D top-down multiplayer shooter made for macOS. Teams compete to claim more floor space by splattering it with their color while using paint-based weapons to eliminate rivals. Matches support up to eight players and emphasize both territorial play and direct combat.

Core gameplay loop

  • Players attempt to color the arena in their team’s hue as the primary match objective.
  • Weapons and abilities generate paint on contact, turning combat into area-control tactics.
  • Matches are built around team-versus-team PvP with map and game-type voting before each round.
  • A weekly leaderboard highlights the most successful players, adding a competitive edge.

Game modes and matchmaking

  • Dynamic matchmaking places teams into rotating PvP playlists for varied encounters.
  • Private lobbies are available for organizing matches with friends and custom rules.
  • A cooperative option, Chippingrounds, pits players against waves of monsters and bosses for PvE variety.
  • Players can cast votes on the next map and the match format to influence the experience.

Progression and customization

  • An in-game currency called Chips is earned through play and spent in the item shop.
  • The store features well over a hundred cosmetic options and paid customization items.
  • Limited-time and event-exclusive items rotate periodically to keep the catalog fresh.
  • Cosmetic purchases are optional and focused on appearance rather than gameplay advantage.

Social and competitive features

  • Up to eight players can join a single match, encouraging small-team tactics and coordination.
  • Weekly leaderboards and match voting systems support a lively competitive scene.
  • Private matches and friend lobbies make it easy to organize casual or ranked sessions.

Suggested alternative

If you’re looking for another title with a strong emphasis on customization and social play, consider trying Sheba: A New Dawn — it places a similar focus on cosmetic options and player-driven progression.
