To help pay for server costs we have introduced a Deluxe Edition that includes several special features: 9 exclusive colors! smaller brush sizes brush smoothing straight line tool canvas zoom studio room for viewing your paintings/liked paintings painting easel for saving draft paintings We really need your support to keep this game running so we hope you'll consider making this one time donation to unlock the latest features!
Your friend, a conceptual artist, has invited you to their latest exhibition.
You enter expecting to see their art adorning the walls, but to your surprise, the VISITORS are the ones drawing the art — they’re even drawing over each other’s work! It’s up to you to protect the exhibition from being covered in artwork that is, intentionally or otherwise, truly awful.
- Explore a never-ending, ever-expanding gallery full of user-generated art — and snarky guests!
- Add a new layer to art that needs a redo!
- Draw new art to fill the exhibition!
- Rate art to boost the good and hide the bad!
All of the art exhibited in the game is 100% created and remixed and rated LIVE by other players. Yes, we host all of this art and load it in dynamically. We hope that you will choose to fix the (inevitable) unacceptable art!
In addition to the main gallery there is also a portal to the "gallery of the week". Every week there will be a new gallery with a particular theme. The main gallery is pretty crowded so your art may have a better chance of standing out in the gallery of the week!

love this game sm but i wish there was a way to change your password because i dont rememver mine
Its not letting me move?
if you're just playing on the browser try clicking the screen that helps me
it would be cool if u could see and talk to other players
yeah its seems cool
Found a bug for the browser version on firefox, for whatever reason whenever I have the game fullscreened every so often the screen seems to split apart into four cubes, showing my desktop and this lasts for like 2 seconds before going away, it happens pretty much every 15-20 seconds. I've not had this issue with other stuff, but I do really like what you got here, definitely downloading this and plan to re-visit often (not to make art, just critique it and enjoy what everyone has made)
found a weird blue arrow thing that was floating around near the ceiling, even if I managed to phase through it it didn't do anything. It was also pretty slow. Any ideas what that was?
Do NOT shoot the blue arrow. It will attack you, and your game will end.
If you do shoot it (press G for gun and press left mouse button to shoot), I have advice on how to escape it:
1: Shoot the arrow,
2: Open menu and press "Return to Entrance",
3: Go into the Hall of Fame portal,
4: Exit the portal,
5: That's it!
I did it... I escaped, until i realised that the roof was only 2% of my escape...
I really like the music, the ambience is good for drawing. Wish I could make my tablet work! The mouse technique is quite difficult.
Nice
Absolutely love this concept, I enjoy the challenge of drawing with a fairly limited palette, the only thing I have negative to say about this game is how much of my art gets practically vandalized. Yes, I 100% understand that my art isn't quite "mine" and this is a collab game, but it really sucks when I put effort into something I genuinely like and it gets scribbled over by some thick brush. I also hate it when others sign their names on things they didn't made??? Again, I love this game, one of my favorites and I seriously love the concept, I just wish there was some way to articulate to people how unkind it is to do things like that- But again, people will be people.
I agree. Sometimes my art gets vandalized or somebody ruins it but when someone does make my piece look better or someone adds to it in a good way , it makes me feel happy.
Mhm. I feel like a good idea could be adding the option for the original creator of something to be able to delete/report anything negative they could find on the remix of their project
you can in their discord, they have a channel where you can report stuff, or in the game there's a report button, but you have to find it first in the gallery hope this helps :]
自己不可以改自己的画作吗
um... how did i do this???![](https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzE3MzA0Mjc0LnBuZw==/original/lHjAbt.png)
Same!
yup, still broken on my end
:D
How do I tell it I'm finished drawing???
After 10 strokes, there is an 'Upload' button
Umm, I think you accidentally made deluxe edition free to download
A little treat for people who are paying attention :P
this is an awesome game, it is amazing to see what people can do within this game :)
My first time playing this game and I loved the concept. A very unique game
Stumbled upon this game yesterday. As a Unity developer I keep wandering how did you guys achieve that many simultaneous texture inside a webGL build and yet still works on mobile devices smoothly
We save the compressed PNG data for all of the paintings and when a painting gets far away we delete the Texture2D and only recreate it when you get close to the painting again.
Didn't know if I could make this any better but I tried my hardest
Messy![](https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzE3MTk0NTc2LnBuZw==/original/OwIcL8.png)
I absolutely love this game I just wish that there was a way to recover an account. I lost mine and it makes me super sad. Also for some reason my post option went away. My recently lost account is @lilyusesaphone :(
imagine walking down a hallway and seeing this shit (i actually drew this)![](https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzE3MTExNjg4LnBuZw==/original/XrkO4M.png)
I absolutely love the game but the way others can fix your drawing is just hilarious. I mean a fix is a must need for inappropriate drawings but how about completely normal ones? some of them might took proper effort to draw and someone else can just "fix" it by destroying the actual original drawing itself??
Sometimes the game doesn't let you fix inappropriate drawings!
synfig?
for some reason all the gallery was on blank and couldn´t paint anything, so I´d started to vandalize the place with the paint gun and paint splashes (G and V) to give everything a touch of color, when suddenly came some strange blue and black float triangle, I painted it with the gun and it multiplied itself and attacked me. I lose the game ksjdhdsk I didn´t even know I could do that
This is actually incredibly cool. New obsession unlocked
Edit: Here is a really quick doodle I made of my favorite character.
Pen pressure doesn't seem to be working for me- I'm using an xp-pen screen tablet on windows 11, I've tried it with both windows ink on and off. Any ideas?
Bruh how come when I shoot one of those blue flying arrows with the paint gun and starts multiplying and and come after you and then they cover your screen and say "game over"? Why is that? Is that some sort of prank?
how do you get the paint gun
G for paint gun and V for paint splash
Yooo that actually works what. Did not know that was an option
It wouldn't let me create an account and all the galleries were empty, I was really excited for this game :(
have a good day and life everyone!![](https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzE2ODk5Nzg2LnBuZw==/original/299%2B1i.png)
This is such a cute idea and I love all the creativity and cool stuff in the comments
I drew Noisemaster from Cucumber quest :) This is my first time drawing on here and its pretty fun
i wish i could play this on my ipad since thats where i do all my art and drawing with a mouse is very very hard :( its very cool to just walk about and see all the cool art tho
im a huge bfdi fan :3 i was really nervous about drawing with a mouse and end up ruining the og artist's work.. i think it turned out well though !! first time recreating someone's art in this game ^U^
very fu
