Community Insight:
We love this game because it lets you save the pictures it draws, Never have seen an app like this.
We love just watching the pictures render. Its a beautiful thing. What this wants to have though, is just an idle mode, where you can select pictures to just render in a loop, even without selling them. We really want this to just sit and render pictures over and over, even if it doesnt add to the progression at all. So add a non-progression screen saver mode, and allow the pictures to be selected for what is drawn in that mode.
Like the game but it wont let us upgrade to 240x sell price.
This game is fun for about a day. Then the progression grinds to a snails pace. The bonuses are literally fractions of your total amount and its literally just repetitiveness from there on out. Doesnt offer much.
Your game is the best game ever.
Love this take on idle games. Fun, relaxing, its nice to see how the picture colors change every time they are drawn, and drawing them faster and moving on to new pictures is satisfying. Minor bug we saw is where sometimes pictures dont show up in the top frame (just a black box). Also didnt see a way to support the creator to keep working on the game.
When we downloaded the update and went in, our progress went down!! We had been all the way past the painting of the two different colored eyes that were 320×320. Now im back all the way to the better version of the lion. Please remark our progress we were at a good point.
It's convenient to play and relaxing to watch the pictures be drawn.
Can you add like something where you tap to make it go faster.
Upgrade prices went back to unreasonable prices again. Some of these upgrades are ridiculous to obtain.
So absolutely love it. Its exactly how our imagination would paint things. We do wish there were a settings tab or some kind of sound but not a big deal. MAIN thing we would love to see is an auto sell function. We enjoy watching it paint but we may take our eyes off for a second and if it finishes a painting it just sits there until we manually sell it and it doesnt keep painting. Mind you you this is while app is open and running. If its closed it DOES auto sell, but wish we could auto sell while the app was open. Five stars if we/us can get that added.
The game is good with the picts coming together. But it needs something and that be something impossible but it be awesome and that being able to put your own picts from your library in your phone into this game. And let it color up the pict the way it was. That will totally keep us hook in this the game for a great bit of time which is 3 months.
Maybe add like a prestige where you reset but get good benefits.
This game is a neat lil idle game good for bed time we just wish the rest button actually gave you something this one is really more of a interactive Screen Saver than a game, most idle games/ incremental games have a rogue like aspect to it, what we mean is there should be a growth system for resetting(prestige) our favorites have artifacts that you can upgrade that last thru gameplays thank you.
Good for spending some time, interesting concept, but limited images and get stuck after a while.
This game is more advertisement than game. You get an ad every five upgrades but you get upgrades extremely fast. The ads are longer than the gameplay you experience. Some of the ads allow you to demo them for longer than you get to idle-y paint.
Only but if you want to be in ad heaven.
Ads are a constant pop up. We dont mind watching something for a bonus or something, but constant forced unskippable ads are a definite no.
The game is fun but there is way to many ads.
This game is very fun and mesmerizing, we love it. But we got extremely mad when we were playing and then out of nowhere it brought us back to the beginning painting and completely RESTARTED us. We were very disappointed because we had so much data and we were so far into the game. We know its just a game but thats just ridiculous.
This isnt even a game. It just draws pictures for you and has ads pop up every 30 seconds. Theres literally nothing to do. Stupidest thing Ive ever downloaded.
So it just draws pictures for you.
These reviews are utter trash. This isnt a game. It is an ad platform that spans you every few seconds. Just trash.
This is a great game, it is a good pastime and a way to relax but twice we have had to delete this app because it keeps freezing on the home page not letting us continue on other artworks.
First off, this is a fun simple game. But every time we close the app and come back to it, we cant click anything? We try to press on everything and the only thing that will actually do anything is the ad on the bottom of the screen. We reinstalled the app and had to restart the game, then had the same problem AGAIN.
The game always freezes whenever we try to open it, we used to have the game and it never did this. Please fix it because it makes the game literally unplayable because it wont even load and we have an Iphone 11 that is comepletely up to date so we know its not our phone.
We liked it but after we close it out it just freezes. Regardless of our progress we deleted the app and redownloaded it and it happened again. Read the most recent reviews and it seems like its been happening for months without any updates. Its too bad because it seems like a cool app.
The game is fun but every time we close it the game it freezes and wont work at all until we delete it and redownload it and this still continues after.
After you close the app you can no longer do anything game is completely frozen.
Though this game is amazing, level 186 is bugged, at least for us. But otherwise, its absolutely amazing.
Thus game is awesome we are currently playing it right now as we speak this game is relaxing calm everything you need download it now.
We would like if could have 1 pen but the makes us have 2.
Yes gg ee us a lot h it we have a issue with having to hcomplete pisszles.
Its so fun and we play it a lot!! Its absolutely free no extra pay for anything ever. But we think it would be cool if there was some music to go along with it that would be cool and we need more pictures too!! Lots more.
We love this game so much its fun and has cool pictures. Not a lot but the stuff it has is good :).
The only thing we want is more paintings we completed it twice and now for a third.
We like the game when we started playing it and it is our first time playing this game but who ever wrote this game thinknoodles.
When we play this game it always comfort us always do it thank you please make more games like this.
It is very fun to watch and you make money and it is very fun.
This game is the best. No down sides! Ive been playing for a month and we have millions.
Whenever your trying to burn some time get this game its FREE!!! (Also its extremely fun).
We noticed that the packs had no tiger pack so next time can you add one Thank You.
Its a very nice game it really gives you an idea what to do in a painting and this game is fun but a more fun game crash of cars go check it out.
Very relaxing, would recommend to the casual gamer.
Fabulous!!! But we finished the levels on iPhone and Im now sad.
Love the game but we ran out of pictures in no time now we just got to redo them over and over again.
This game is so relaxing. The only 2 things we would add to this game would be a paint on loop button and an update with more pictures. This Isnt exactly an idle game since you need to restart a painting after it finishes.
We paint all of them and we cant buy anymore. We also want to purchase and we cant do it either. What can we do.
Ive had it for a couple of days and we are addicted. The concept is simple and easy to understand and we would totally recommend. There are not a lot of ads either which is great.
