While there is an option to skip boss fights, I don’t really recommend it because of the aforementioned story significance, and you are basically invincible without increasing your health.

Making it a nice change of pace, giving you a slight increase in difficulty as you’ll be dodging attacks and figuring out how to dish out attacks (though you can’t really fail), and the story significance they hold. There are also boss fights which are surprisingly scary, but great. This all wraps into you figuring out how to get to your destination as you try to weave your way through various obstacles and destroying rocks so you can use it as a shortcut (or to actually get through there). After each chapter you’ll also gain a new ability, due to your bond with the Brush strengthening, which can let you swim in paint (Inkling style) or have illuminated paint. It starts simple as you’re introduced to plants that will grow or shrink when they’re colored, but as the game progresses, you’ll encounter more like plants that will fling you or bugs that eat paint. Puzzles are based on using the Brush and most are quite easy to figure out as it mainly calls for you to paint the environment, and sometimes to erase paint. There were only two or three I was lost on and one that took a little fiddling with. Obviously being worried, you venture out to see Chicory, but you find the Brush on the floor and Chicory’s door locked. While you’re dusting one of the rooms in the Wielder’s Tower, all the color suddenly drains away, leaving the whole world black and white. Due to the Brush being passed down, the way everything is colored changes between them, along with responsibilities. Wielders are basically the only ones that can wield the magical, ancient Brush that is the only way to bring (or retouch) color to the world. Good news though, you’re the janitor of the recent Brush Wielder, Chicory, who you admire a lot. Named after your favorite food, I was fortunate enough to name myself Spaghetti, you are actually just a dog janitor. Well, in Chicory, you play as a character that has little to no history in art. I’m sure one that like drawing, but not that great at it… along with having a case of too-much-itis and putting myself down. And even fewer become good enough to produce amazing pieces and find an audience that follows their artwork and pay for commissions. We all dabbled in art, but few of us actually pursue it.
