PiXX - Paint By Number Game for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By Jared Buck

  Great game but one niggling little prob...

  I enjoy playing this, especially the single player mode. However it is really difficult to reach the last few pixels at the bottom of the image. The paint bar with the fill tool and the magic finger tool that also contains the numbers to fill in gets in the way. I try to scroll the image up so i can have those last few pixels within reach, but it just snaps back into place, making it impossible to reach the last couple. Is this a behavior that can be fixed? Or is there a way to reach the last few pixels on the bottom so i can finish an image? Also, the app has a tendency to crash unexpectedly when working on very high pixel count images, especially those over a million pixels in size.

  Could be better

  This game has so munch potential and I love the concept of being able to color massive pictures with other people. However there are some issues that are making it almost unplayable for me. First of all there are too many people allowed in each picture room at a time which makes it hard to get anything done. Second, the game glitches and freezes nonstop (I have a fully updated iPhone 10S max) and sometimes even freezes everything else on my phone as well. Third, there are too many pay to play and not enough free to play choices with the same pictures cycling through again and again. And fourth, the new banner ads (which I get might be needed) are covering the screen making it hard to color at all. If these issues could be addressed and resolved I would definitely rate higher because the premise is fantastic and the coloring method I like.

  Really fun, but overpriced.

  I find this game so relaxing. The artwork is good, and the multiplayer aspect is unique. Adding a leveling system was a neat idea too. I want to rate it higher, but the flaws are too great in my opinion. I took one star off for the obnoxious UI. The bottom third of the screen is heavily obstructed by the color selection tool. This wouldn’t be a big deal, but ads block the top third of the screen. It’s hard to see anything but the middle third. The second star I subtracted for the subscription option. It’s standard to coloring games, but I find it too expensive. I wish there was a one time fee to remove ads, and perhaps one time payment bundles for the artwork. Anything but $7 per month. Edit: I just realized that the single player is also part of the subscription. This makes me want to forget about this app even more. I would easily pay up to $10-15 for lifetime access to this game, but am not willing to pay a monthly fee.

  Rather nice, good time waster,

  Colorful and fun, with lots of free constantly shifting pieces to work on. The multiplayer just means they can also work on it— there’s no chat or anything— which just helps speed up the process. A few complaints though: Like other users have mentioned, the giant color selection tool is both a bit in the way sometimes and seemingly a little too big just in general: I wish there was a way to scale it down a bit. Secondly: the banner ad Gosh how I dislike this ad. I’m never going to buy a Toyota, yet here I am constantly accidentally clicking on the annoying thing, bringing zoomed off to somewhere different and having to reload the map again, and it’s completely opaque, making pixels behind it hidden. It needs ridding. Which could be done with the in app purchase of course.. but there’s a problem with that too. I also feel the fee should also simply be a one time transaction instead of a subscription— I’m fine with outright paying for no ads, but subscribing is too much, especially for the price, which is steep even so far as these games go. Lastly, this game drains my battery life and heat up my phone like no other. I can understand why on this, just a warning. Make sure to have a charger handy, folks.

  Awesome little game

  I really enjoy this game. It’s fun coloring with other people. The only thing I find annoying is that my game crashes a lot whenever I am using the bucket fill button. It would be nice to have a few more pictures to color too. I seem to be getting the same ones over and over. UPDATED REVIEW: First of all, I decided to change my rating from 4 to 5. The biggest reason being the developer actually listens to the users. I love the new additions to the picture gallery. I am also enjoying the new version of the single player mode. Although, my completed pics are not showing up in “My Art”. I am only seeing the multiplayer ones I have previously done. There are still the occasional crashes when using the paint bucket to auto fill as well. Other than that, I am really happy with the improvements so far. I plan to keep updating my review as needed. I look forward to seeing the new things you come up with, like maybe an achievement system. Thank you for doing what you do.
