Dark Color: Paint by Number

I like color games. Simple enough. I’m also a big fan of the funny pictures you can color on this app. While I was coloring a picture of Pikachu and stitch getting cross faded together (hilarious picture and I love it), I was BOMBARDED with ads. You can’t go coloring a few number nodes (ex; colors 1-6) without getting an ad. An excuse from developers from many games with the same issue is “we have to have them to make a profit” well you can’t make a profit with those ads if there are too many to even play the game, scaring away me and others just like me who want to relax and color without an ad in my face every three seconds. Don’t get me wrong, ads are completely ok. You need to make money somehow. But there are just TOO MANY. Look at a similar game called happy color. They do it where there is an ad before and after a drawing, or an ad if you want a hint. That’s perfectly ok. It lets me actually color without being interrupted midway through. I can’t do that with this game, which I really wish I could because the pictures are just my type of style. But at the very end it’s a great game, I just can’t play it with the amount of ads. Also, VIP pictures also make sense. You want better pictures, you need to pay for them. That’s fine. The ads are the main issue. Please do better with the ad management. I would love to actually enjoy this game without being interrupted midway through A picture. Much love to the developers ❤️❤️❤️

Reasons for giving five stars: 1. This one is indeed more comfortable and stress-relieving compared to several other similar ones on the market. When coloring, it is painted area by area, and the visual perception and experience are quite good. 2. The game interface is very interesting, with some cute little icons, which is the kind of feeling that I like. 3. There are a great variety of picture types inside, and you can find all kinds of pictures that I like. The lines in the pictures look very comfortable. Suggestions: 1. The advertisements appear too frequently. I understand that a large portion of the revenue of a small game comes from advertising. However, as a game, the most important thing first should be that players have a good gaming experience. In this game, the advertisements pop up too often, and you even have to watch them through before you can close them. This forces me to either force quit and restart the game or play it after disconnecting the network. 2.Every time when I'm almost done with the background step, I can't wait. When there are too many areas that still need to be colored, I will become a bit impatient. I hope that when painting the background color, it can be colored in large chunks directly. In this way, it will feel more stress-relieving when playing.

Like someone else, I am rating 5 stars ONLY in an attempt to get this seen. Let me start by saying that this app easily has the most free images to choose from that I’ve ever seen on one of these apps. There’s so many categories and a lot of really neat images to choose from. But the app has some issues... • The amount of ads is absolutely ridiculous. I know that those are important to a point but when you’re having to watch them every 20-30 seconds (NO exaggeration), it makes it hard to want to continue to play. Every time an ad pops up, it asks you if you’d like to make a purchase to go ad-free…and again, I get it but it’s excessive. • The colors you’re using on the color selector at the bottom do NOT match up to the color that the space will be on the picture. For example, I just finished a picture and the last color (#94) was lime green but when I selected the highlighted ‘94’ on the picture, it was white. To me, that makes it much less enjoyable. • The picture you see when you first load isn’t necessarily what the finished image will look like. For example, the one I just finished had a bunch of little spiders on it when I loaded it brand new to start coloring. As I colored, the spiders disappeared into the colors and you couldn’t even see them on the completed image. Again, that kinda takes away some of the enjoyment for me. That may just be personal preference. Overall, I’d probably give the app 2.5 ⭐️ because of the ridiculous number of ads. They really make it hard to want to use the app. Otherwise, it would easily get a 4.5 ⭐️ from me!
