Gameplay
The game is divided to two sections: The driving part and painting part.
In the driving part, the idea is to drive from the office to the house to paint - and back. First, you need to pick a correct paint to paint the house with; wrong choice (such as oil paint for a concrete building) will result in a chastisement from the Father. Driving is straightforward, and is shown from above; the target building shows up in the game map, highlighted with Tikkurila's logo, and compass shows where to drive. Driving off the road, colliding with a building, or getting run over by a train will make the player lose a life.
In the painting section, the player controls the Son, painting various sections of the building. The player must avoid painting any undesired things, such as dogs, birds, the Father, and the Girl Next Door.
