I'm so pleased that there is a 3rd "Paint By Numbers" game. The "paintings" are quite pleasing AND if the player needs to leave before their "painting" is done, it is SAVED! Yes, I know the background can be difficult at times & that it isn't always easy to find that last area or 2 to be painted, but the player can always go to the next color or use a hint.

I have Paint-by-numbers 1 & 2 and enjoy both of them. But, in my opinion, this is the best of the 3 and for one simple fact:

THE COLORS ARE BEAUTIFUL

This is one of the MAJOR reasons for choosing my games. I don't prefer the games that are on the 'dark' side, whether it be by the type of game, or more importantly, the dark, drab scenes.

I was delighted to see this new Paint By Numbers today and made a beeline to the Buy Button. This game genre is my go-to when I am having my evening coffee and listening to the silence. What better way to be creative, too, when I haven't one artistic brain cell working, by day's end.

The game is working smoothly on my PC, no problems with the previous 2 releases. I like the different shapes in the pictures and the images I have finished so far are nice and colorful. Unless a color is "muddy" I appreciate all tones and shades of the vast palette, IMO bright and bold is not always a good thing. Coloring is my favorite hobby and though I can't customize the pictures here, it is still quite enjoyable.

Paint By Numbers is fun, relaxing and challenging. The challenge for me is mostly due to the too-big cursor. There are just a few changes I would like to see...the cursor needs to be a smaller different shape & more precise, we definitely need MORE images, larger would be nice and not so many teeny-tiny pieces which are a real pain sometimes.

Just as with Pixel Art, I prefer the more intricate busy designs with lots of colors involved. The challenge is very satisfying. We are seeing more complexity in Pixel Art and I am sure that Paint By Number will bring this about as well. Overall, I really like this game and will buy them all. There are many more available that Big Fish is very slow on delivering, including Pixel Art.

I am very happy with today's release, unlike my cats who prefer playing with my colored pencils and laying on my books! Oh well, can't please everyone!!

Give the demo a whirl. If you haven't tried this kind of game before and are into Zen, you may have found a new goodie! Show less

I recommend this game!

I have all three of these games and look forward to more. This last installment is the best one. I love the bright colors. I love that you can change the background color.

I find that this comes in handy when trying to find the very small pieces. I also like the new ability to hold the mouse down and just glide over multiple areas instead of having to click each individual number as in previous versions. This gesture seems more like "painting" to me. Overall, a really good game. Can't wait for the next one. Show less

Just finished this one. Waiting eagerly for the next.
Just wish there were more pictures that are like intricate paintings, like landscapes, etc, instead of some of the sillier ones. I like the ones that look like stained glass, also.

I recommend this game!

The difference between Pixel Art and Paint by Numbers is that these games are more traditional with areas to color rather than square pixels. In the first game, there were slightly different shades between areas that really made the images pop with vivid shades of orange, yellow, pink, purple, etc. (just look at the image shown of the lizard on #1) the second game had really ugly colors with no ...Show more

The difference between Pixel Art and Paint by Numbers is that these games are more traditional with areas to color rather than square pixels. In the first game, there were slightly different shades between areas that really made the images pop with vivid shades of orange, yellow, pink, purple, etc. (just look at the image shown of the lizard on #1) the second game had really ugly colors with no shade variations. This third edition has much better colors but the pictures aren't that interesting, but I realize it's a work in progress figuring out what the Paint by Numbers fans like and dislike.

Here's a few suggestions I'd like to see added

*The cursor is way too large and bulky, especially when trying to fill in those teeny-tiny areas. It would be nice to have at least 2 cursors "tip" options, preferably cursors of various art media, such as a colored pencil tip, a fountain pen tip, or a sharpie marker tip.

*At least some of the images should be larger images, after all, we can drag the image around to get to other areas.

*The images need to have symmetrical or geometrical patterns versus doors & windows, dots, and impossible to see blurbs.

*Let us choose the color of the background with an actual Color Palette & let us choose the color of the current number highlighted areas which are currently a dark grey (if we can't choose the color of the highlighted area DO NOT use fill in colors in the same shades of gray or black!)

*The black outlines need to be much thinner so they don't stick out like a sore thumb and take away from the beauty of the completed picture (which is also confusing when trying to differentiate between that grey highlighted current color...again give us the choice of current highlighted colors)

*The colors need to be crazy, the colors need shading variations, do away with areas to fill in the size of a fist (we aren't toddlers) Choose images of animals or scenery that can allow you to take advantage of all the color hues...you know how to contact me :)

Some of the areas to fill are super tiny which makes it difficult to see the numbers, however, if you scan the mouse over a section it will show that particular number above the cursor and it's large enough for anyone to see easily. It can be difficult to fill in some of those smaller areas simply because the cursor is so large and bulky. As I said earlier, if the areas to fill were geometrical or symmetrical this could be avoided altogether. There is also a Hint button that will point to any missed areas of the current color, without penalty.

There's not a whole lot to have to figure out, it's about as uncomplicated and basic as it gets. Paint By Numbers is a computer version of Oil or Colored Pencil Paint by Numbers, and actually closer to the real thing than the Pixel Art versions. Each area has a number and you simply chose the corresponding color bubble from the palette (also numbered) on the right side, left-click to fill in all the numbers with the correct color.

There is a Slider Bar that allows you to zoom in & out (there's a "fit" tab as well) you can also move the entire page around by right-clicking and dragging. There is also a slider bar that allows you to change the color of the background, but it really only allows you to change the colors in shades of grey or black. It would make more sense to have an entire color scale available on a paint by numbers game though, wouldn't it? I would love to see a "texture" feature added that would mimic different paint variations as well.

Keep an open mind, it isn't supposed to be a brain-burner kind of game. It's a very basic and rudimentary game that's just supposed to take you out of the hectic zone for a bit. I'm still a Pixel Art & Paint by Numbers fan, but Paint by Numbers is flawed and not consistent. I was constantly having issues with the screen zooming in and out all by itself which became annoying. I prefer Paint by Numbers vs. Pixel Art because it's closer to the "real deal" and I'm certain that a few tweaks could make this version an amazing and zenful game! ☯
