Prompt 1: Describe the game as if it were a physical object.

As the brush in this game seems to be limited to drawing circles, a physical object that it reminded me of was those paint blobbers, or perhaps one of those circle shaped sponges for painting. Additionally, the "grid coloring" setting atop the black background reminded me of those scratch off art projects, where you draw over a black sheet and different colors are revealed. In both of these ways, the game felt nostalgic to me and like a childhood craft. The way that the brush was created in this game creates kind of a "chunky" feeling where you wouldn't be creating any sort of smooth gradient or watercolor type paint. Given the setup of the grid, besides the use of the grid coloring setting, I feel like you could create some sort of mandala or symmetrical painting using this tool. A limitation this game presents is the fact that you aren't able to change the size or shape of the brush, but I think this mimics what it would be like to use one particular brush in a real life application. The clear canvas feature is another thing was was useful in this digital game setting, but perhaps may not have mimicked a real life application, unless the brush was using some sort of erasable paint. Overall, this painting tool, through the stylistic choices of somewhat pastel colors and circular shape, created an interesting visual appeal and allowed me to play around within the limitations of only drawing circles.
