Rainbow Pixel - Color by Number

"Rainbow Pixel - Color by Number" isn't a game, it's a color by numbers software application. Before we get into why all video games are software, but not all software is a game, it's important to note the developer stole all the art images used in this paint-by-numbers app from the internet. I guess their entire business model relies on gamers not knowing about reverse image search. Stealing other people's images and not crediting them, then putting those images into a video game (or software) FOR PROFIT is extremely unethical! For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat th…

[h1]Positives[/h1] +I like that the color switch automatically to the next one when you finish a color. +Level progression is saved when going back to the menu. +Music is surprisingly very good and relaxing for a small game like this! ♫ +You can change the background color. [h1]Observations and suggestions[/h1] ~It would be nice if the Escape key would close the menu when on a level. ~It would be nice if the music was not reset each time you enter a new level from the selection menu. ~There is a weird glitch when being zoomed in a level and moving around. The bottom tile of the level are disappearing and reappearing when moving around. The top is okay, only the bottom seems glitched. ~It would be nice to have keybinding for the color. If I pressed the key 1, the color one could be selected. ~The UI is very basic. It gets the job done, but it need a lot of refinement and polishing. ~You can see the best score only when you solve an image. It would be nice to see the best score on the selection screen or somewhere else. [h1]Negatives[/h1] -When clicking on the first level to do it again from the level selection menu, all hints are still present. I think there should be a boolean se…

The game seemed to be nice but I had a technical problem with it the moment I was about to finish the first level. I wasn't able to paint the last square left but it was as if I completed the level for the game which I did not. From then on forward I couldn´t access to any other level nor was I able to close the game, only retry it with the same problem happening all the time. If there´s any way to fix it besides downloading it again please let me know <3

Run for your money. Color squares.

Full disclosure: I got this game on sale for .49 cents USD. The music was nice enough. But although some of the items (which look more like emoji) were fun to color, some were not to my taste. I think I would have completed the game if you didn't have to complete each puzzle to get to the next one, that said, I got over six hours out of it.
