Play Rollo and the Brush Brothers Online

Game Overview

Rollo and the Brush Brothers is one of those weirdly delightful MS-DOS games that makes you go, "Wait, why was I not playing this in 1993?" You control Rollo—a tiny paintbrush with more personality than most human protagonists—bouncing through levels that look like they were dreamed up by a kid hopped up on crayons. Everything’s an art supply here: enemies are angry pencils, platforms are made of paint tubes, and half the time you’re dodging ink blots or hopping across watercolor puddles.

It’s part platformer, part puzzle game, but mostly just pure charm. The controls are simple (run, jump, maybe bonk a rogue eraser), but the levels get sneakily clever—like that one where you have to use a palette to mix colors and unlock paths. And yeah, it’s retro-hard in spots, but in that way where you laugh instead of rage-quit. Perfect for when you want something nostalgic but not another generic Mario clone.

Honestly, it’s a crime this wasn’t more popular. If you dig oddball retro games with heart, give Rollo a spin.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
