## What is Pickasso?

You're a painter on the factory floor. Colored pixels tumble down the supply pipe onto a moving conveyor belt, and whatever rides off the end drops straight into your canvas — bottom row first, left to right. Grab the right pixels, drop them in the right order, and the picture comes together. Get it wrong and it's part of your painting forever.

PICK. PLACE. PAINT.

Walk the belt with your painter. Tap a pixel to pick it up, carry it where you want it, and set it back down with PLACE. The frame fills automatically as blocks reach the end of the belt, so the whole game is a race to get the right color into the right slot before it lands.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY

EASY streams endless blocks with distractor colors mixed in — toss anything you don't want on the discard pile and wait for a better one.

HARD deals you exactly the blocks the image needs, shuffled, with no discards. Every block must go somewhere. Every mistake is permanent.

EARN YOUR POWER-UPS

Power-ups aren't handed out at random — place five pixels correctly in a row and one comes down the pipe. Catch it before it rides off the end:

• SLOW-MO — the belt drops to half speed (and the music slows with it)
• PAINT BUCKET — arms a wildcard: the next block to land becomes exactly the color that cell needs
• CHISEL — pops your most recent wrong pixel back out
• MAGNET — carry it, place it, and every block on the belt slides over to gather there
• PREVIEW LENS — ghosts the finished picture inside your frame for six seconds

13 HAND-CRAFTED PICTURES

From a two-color 5×5 Heart to a seven-color 10×10 Rocket, auto-ranked by size, palette, and complexity. Ghosts, mushrooms, invaders, ducks, houses, fish and more. Finish a level and the next one starts automatically — the belt speeds up as you go, but never faster than you can walk.

BEAT THE CLOCK

Every level is timed. Placing blocks near the end of the belt saves seconds, and your fastest run is saved per level — but only a flawless 100% painting sets a record. Speed only counts when the picture is right.

YOUR OWN GALLERY

Every painting you finish is saved exactly as you made it, mistakes and all. Browse them all in the Gallery, and watch them fill the workshop wall in gold frames as you work through a run.

PURE 8-BIT

An '80s workshop rendered in chunky pixels: spinning belt rollers, a flickering work lamp, weather drifting past the windows, and a chiptune soundtrack synthesized live — a brand new melody composed for every single level. Optional CRT scanlines if you want the full cathode-ray experience.

No account. No sign-up. No internet required to play. Your progress stays on your device.

Pickasso is free, supported by ads between levels — or remove them forever with a single purchase.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-16

## What's New in 1.2

Learn to paint, one step at a time!

Your first game now starts with a guided practice painting. Clear prompts and
highlighted controls walk you through moving, picking up pixels, changing
their order, placing, discarding, all five power-ups, and pausing. The belt
waits while you learn, with no timer or pressure.

Ready to play? Skip the tutorial or finish it to start your chosen level and
difficulty. Your choice is remembered, and you can replay the lesson anytime
from How to Play.

Quit to Menu now returns to the main menu when you pause a tutorial opened
from How to Play.

Also includes the earlier fixes for crashes at startup and when starting a
level on smaller iPhones, plus more reliable music and sound after audio
interruptions and headphone or Bluetooth changes.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-22

## What's New

Fixes two crashes.

The serious one closed the game the moment a level began, and it hit a lot of iPhones — including iPhone SE, 13 mini, 13, 14, 14 Pro, 15, 15 Pro and 16. A piece of the workshop scenery was sized in a way that didn't fit those screens. If Pickasso quit on you before you ever reached the conveyor belt, this is the fix, and the game should now run everywhere.

The other could close the game during startup, while the sound was warming up.

Music and sound effects are also far more reliable now: audio waits for the device to be ready before it starts, and rebuilds itself when you plug in headphones, connect to Bluetooth or a car, take a call, or another app borrows the speakers. If the soundtrack was silent for you, it should be back.

### Previous releases
