2. The immediate inclination when opening a drawing game is to select a color, or size for your brush. That is what I thought to do and wanted to do here, however no such options exist. Players are only given three brush options, with no description of what each might do. This leaves players no choice but to choose one at random and see what happens. This comes with limitations, because players cannot choose how they want to draw. However I would argue that it does not limit creativity, it simply forces players to be creative with the different options given to them. 

Of course, adding basic color options would have been very easy to add. It is not that the creator forgot, or didn’t know how; they made a conscious choice to only allow the unique brushes that they created. In fact, designing their 3 brushes must have required a lot more work than creating a straight brush in multiple colors. They likely did this to differentiate their game from others, and encourage players to be creative with brush tools that they have never seen before. Someone can open 10 different drawing games, click on a simple red brush, and have essentially the same experience. This game does not allow that because there is nothing simple about any of the brushes. Usually I try a drawing game by scribbling with all of the tools provided, but here, I tried to use the tools to create something interesting, and with more structure than just some random lines.
