How to play Pixel Art

Objective: Copy each picture as exactly as you can — or make your own art.

  1. Pick a colour, then click or drag over the grid to paint.
  2. The fill bucket colours a whole connected area; the picker copies a colour from the canvas.
  3. Mirror paints the matching cell on the other side as well.
  4. In the challenge, press Check my copy when you are done. Accuracy counts every cell filled in either picture.

Scoring

Challenge score is your average accuracy over three pictures (1,000 for perfect copies).

Difficulty levels

Easy shows a faint guide of the picture on the canvas. Normal shows the picture beside the canvas. Hard shows it for only 12 seconds — then paint from memory.

Tips

  • Start with the outline, then use the fill bucket.
  • Count cells along the edges to place features exactly.
