During a BOGO sale, I decided to buy it and I soon realized that "painting pixels by numbers" became very zen for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

When the first Pixel Art game was released I wasn't all that impressed. During a BOGO sale, I decided to buy it and I soon realized that "painting pixels by numbers" became very zen for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I also discovered that there are several Pixel Art versions so I do hope BF offers all of them soon, and not just in the Mac version, so more players can find their zen too!

The first five or six levels are just tutorials and the pixels are large and very easy to fill in, but eventually, the pictures become quite elaborate as the pixels get smaller and more intricate. It feels like a great accomplishment to finish a picture and completely relaxing at that!

Basically, this is a Paint by Numbers game. Each pixel has a number and you chose the corresponding color on the right and left click to fill in all the numbers with the correct color, which can be switched back an forth.

You can scroll in and out to zoom larger and smaller, and you can right click and hold to move the entire board around. There is an auto-fill feature that will fill in all of the pixels of a particular color by double-clicking, but that feature has to recharge after each use, besides, it's more satisfying to color them yourself.

Keep an open mind, it seems basic and rudimentary at first but you may just find yourself boarding the Pixel Art fan train too, I'll save you a seat!

I absolutely love games where filling in empty spaces, creates a picture. And, yes, there are others out there. I have the first Pixel Art from BFG and also play another game like these that makes pretty pictures. It would be good if BFG could acquire others like this.

It's a great game to relax with and it won't drain your brain. ;) Show less

Review based on the trial.

I own the first installment "Pixel Art"; I've spent dozens of hours completing it, and we find pretty much the same concept here: "paint by numbers".

There are things I LOVE about the mechanics of this game:
1) you don't need to click each cell: like in nonogram boards, you can hold and drag the mouse to keep coloring with the same colour… so thankfully NOT a clickfest!
2) If you drag over an empty cell using the wrong color, the cell will get filled but with a transparent version: you know you'll need to revisit with the proper color (the cell will then have the opaque color)
3) if a cell is already properly filled, you can drag the colour you hold on top of that cell without messing up; this avoids having to skip over those previous filled cells
4) double-clicking will fill the ADJACENT cells of the same colour, not all the cells of that colour on the board (like another reviewer said, it will need to recharge!) This will become less helpful as the board complicates...

You can stop your board anytime and your progress will be saved; you'll resume where you stopped (including your leftover mistakes); this allows you to play the game in small installments, without having to complete a board in a single session (in the first game, some took me more than 1 hour!)

Try it: it's not difficult and quite zen actually. I find it hard to stop (come on, just a few more cells !!!) Show less

I recommend this game!

I absolutely fell in love with Pixel Art 1 last year and play it every day as my relaxing treat. Then this morning I woke up to a very happy surprise when I saw Pixel Art 2 because just a few days ago I was wishing the developer would create another Pixel Art game.

There is really nothing extraordinary about the game but if you ever used those paint by number kits as a kid, then this is the game for you. The concept is simple - find a number and then fill in the matching pixels. For me the game is very relaxing and when I want something to do without having to use too much brain power then this is my go-to game. Now with Pixel Art 2 I no longer have to erase the pictures from the first game and play them over and over again.

One of the differences with Pixel Art 2 is that the pictures are more complicated and offer exactly what I was missing with the first game. Originally there were only about 10 pictures out of the collection that I wanted to play and now with Pixel Art 2 I have a collection of more complicated graphs to complete.

I love that Pennmom called the game Zen-like because that is exactly what it is for me. Pixel Art 2 is a very soothing and relaxing game that takes me to my happy place. The minute I saw the game this morning I purchased it but, as always, I recommend that you try the demo to see if you will enjoy the game as much as I do. Happy gaming! Show less

I recommend this game!

I loved the first game, but this sequel is even better because the makers seem to have listened to the fans and included more complex drawings and brighter colors. I don't normally listen to music when I play, but I did listen to this soundtrack and it enhances rather than detracts from the game play. Overall, the game is delightful. So relaxing and fun. Please keep these games coming!

I recommend this game!

I play games to relax and these really fit the bill. The only downside is that it's too hard to find them. I sure wish more devs would hop on board and make these.

I can't agree more, this is the most excited I have gotten about a sequel release in a long time. Found it so relaxing. It took me somewhere that seemed like minutes to do, but, actually, it turned out to be hours of relaxing, engrossing fun.

I want to challenge Big Fish to get us more.

I recommend this game!

I absolutely love this game! The first one was fun, but too simple...This one is much better and hope they continue to up the challenge, and come out with Pixel Art 3 much sooner! So, so relaxing and addictive.

Thank you so much for getting this second game! Hope there will be more to come since there are 7 of them. After a long day at work it is relaxing to play and fun to see the transformation from a blank picture to beautiful colors.
