### 1/5 — Good concept, terrible execution

*2022-02-17*

I downloaded this game a few days ago. In that time, I tried to play six games. Only two of them have been completed. One of them was begun on TUESDAY of last week (it’s Sunday night) and is still waiting to complete. What this says to me is the developers didn’t think through the online aspect of this at all. People play games when they have free time, and expect the game to begin and end in a reasonable amount of time and have fallbacks for if a player drops mid-game or doesn’t take a turn in a timely manner, such as having default auto-generated answers that the game provides on a player’s behalf if the player doesn’t provide them. There are so many PVP games on the market that successfully account for this that could be used as a model. There should be a timer to name the colors— say, one minute per color— and it shouldn’t be turn-based. Everyone should be naming colors in the same four-minute timeframe. Once the names are in, at the four minute mark or sooner, everyone should get the names sent to them immediately and should, again at the same time, have thirty seconds per color to pick the best answer. At the two minute mark, the winner is selected. Why is the game turn-based in a way where games are held up by players who leave and never come back? This isn’t a new or experimental idea so it should be easy to follow best practices for this style of gameplay in games already on the market. If that can get revamped, I think this game could be a lot of fun. It’s just not right now.

### 1/5 — Tedious and boring.

*2021-12-23, version 1.03*

^^^^

### 2/5 — No One Player & No Online Players

*2025-11-26*

It could be fun, but there is no one player version so you have to have someone with you to play with or be matched online. Unfortunately most of the games sit “waiting for player” and you are never matched, so the game is never finished.

### 3/5 — Great concept, but not enough players

*2022-02-05*

Don’t get me wrong, the game is fun! However, there’s not a huge player base, and I’m usually stuck waiting days for the next turn on an online match. If you could play locally online, match with other players who are actively online, or at the very least get a notification when another player has finished their turn, this would be a 5 star game!

### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating

*2021-11-11*

I really like the concept of the game but it is to slow paced. I would like it where they match you with someone that is playing the game at the same time. Waiting days for someone to take their turn is very frustrating. I’m not going to delete because this could be a fun game, just hoping they change it. When that happens they get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

### 3/5 — Online Multiplayer not working

*2021-10-03*

Fun game! The automatch for more than one opponent isn't working. I select to add more players to automatch and it goes to a loading/quit screen and it just has a spinning loading circle. I can't tap on anything and I have to close the app and reopen it. I would love to play against more than one opponent but it never loads.

**Developer response:** Thank you for letting me know! This is actually a bug with iOS 15's automatch. I’ve informed Apple and they said they’re working on it, so I'm really hoping it gets fixed soon.

P.S. I like that your username sounds like a paint color

### 4/5 — Fun but needs notifications

*2021-09-26*

I love this concept and the execution is great. But when playing with random people online, games don’t get finished, or take a long time to finish, maybe because there are no notifications letting people know they’ve been auto matched. If this was resolved I’d give it 5 stars!

### 4/5 — Okay game

*2021-08-20, version 1.0*

It’s pretty nice but honestly it gets boring after a while. Loved it though.

### 5/5 — Super Fun and great party game!

*2023-10-01*

We always play this game with guests and we always make up funny paint names which is why we love it. I wish there was more color variety because we often get the same colors and it can get a little repetitive. Other than that, it’s a great game!

### 5/5 — Love the local play

*2022-10-22*

I’ve only played it locally, though there is an online option, but I love this game and play it with who ever is around me when we have a little down time, like while in a restaurant. And everyone always ends up loving it too. Personally, I think paying $2 for more swatches was worth it, and would like it if they added some more!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-12-28, version 1.03*

You can play with friends

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2021-10-29*

I really enjoy this game I play it with my friends at school while we wait for class and they really enjoy it as well. Overall great game that has caused me and my friends much joy.

### 5/5 — Fun and gorgeous

*2021-08-19*

If you like making up words and pretty colors, do I have a game for you! It’s cool how you can play in person or with friends on the other side of the country on your own time. 10/10 makes me want ice cream after playing.
