What a wonderful game! The theme of the poor artist is so well represented, especially annoying clients who never know what they want and ask you for changes at the last moment! I hope the game isn't about your life, haha) Great job!

What a clever awesome game!!!!  :D  The art and game feel was great and the vibe was well done too!  Also relatable -the clients with their "Sudden Epiphanies" lol xD  Excellent job on this game!

I love the concept so much! And aside from not having enough time to finish the paintings (especially with the last minute changes!) I absolutely had a blast!

The visuals and sfx were all really well made, I enjoyed playing this a lot =)

Really well. Hard to make some paintings, but the idea is nice ^^ Gj

A great concept and very cool game!! Loved the idea!! I just couldn't figure out a few things like how to pick the call up cuz pressing the clock didn't do anything for me. Just I lost time. But a pretty cool game and the artwork is lit mate!!

a very cool game! I really like the paint mechanic. and the randomization of the paintings are also really cool. I can see that you out a lot of effort into this.


great job!

I like the idea and for the most part I think it was really well executed, but you dont get nearly enough time for each painting. I never even came that close to finishing a painting

Hi, thanks for the feedback! You're right, I think it is a little too difficult at the start

This is the complete package, everything feels responsive, from the swish of the paintbrush to the screen shake when a light goes out and your landlord comes a knocking. I survived a whole month but felt like I was getting by on the skin of my teeth the whole time. The painting mechanics themselves are also wonderful, great use of particle effects as well.

Great, unique concept and a lot of fun!

Love the audio effects!

Very interesting concept executed very well!

I felt the pressure of having to finish, and the constant ticking of the clock reinforced that perfectly! The client calling last minute is on the spot and made me chuckle the first time it happened.

I was a bit worried that I'd have to paint stuff precisely, but locking the paint mask to the area is a super creative idea to solve this! Also holding the right mouse button to reveal what should be painted was also very intuitive and nice to use!

My only gripe, is that the whole game is a bit too dark. Maybe there could be a light that flickers from time to time, would be nice.

Haha this was great :D but the side where are the buckets was a bit too dark do distinguish few of the colors.
