Paint by Number vs Pixel Color

Paint by Number is a coloring game in which pictures are divided into numbered cells, each matched to a color. Players fill the cells to turn an image into a painting; the maker describes the gameplay as simulating real painting. It is available on Android, iOS, and Windows, with offline access and numbered coloring as its listed mode. The maker says its artists create textured and gradient paintings, describes the game as suitable for all ages, and highlights coloring and stories in picture books.

The game has a free plan at free and a listed 3-day trial. Its terms describe premium access through a one-time lifetime purchase or monthly or yearly app-store subscriptions, but prices are unspecified. The maker may offer a premium trial that requires a payment method and subscription frequency; after the trial, the selected subscription is charged. Users may create profiles to track progress and sync activity across devices, and may register with Facebook or Google credentials. The maker says the service is intended for learning, gaming, and entertainment, and limits use to personal, non-commercial purposes. Users can join the maker’s Facebook community for daily activities and bonus pictures.
