Tap paint shooters, manage the conveyor, fill pixels, and reveal satisfying artwork, Conveyor’s ready, paint shooters are on standby. Tap to send a paint shooter onto the conveyor so it shoots paint balls into unfilled pixel cubes of its own color. The number above it is its ammo: that’s how many pixels it can fill. Run out and it leaves the stage; if not, it slips into one of the 5 waiting slots and, when you tap again, it jumps back on the conveyor to fire another round. The conveyor has a capacity — push past the limit and you’ll need to wait. Send them in the right order, manage the flow, and fill the pixel cubes to create the artwork piece by piece. Simple mechanic, sticky loop: tap → shoot → fill → reveal → repeat.
