GlintworkHow to play color by number
Every picture is a grid of numbered cells. Pick a color from the palette at the bottom, then tap or drag across the cells with the same number. Each correct cell becomes a faceted gem with a little chime – keep painting and the notes rise.
Pinch or scroll to zoom in: the numbers appear up close. Lost the last few cells? Find flies straight to the nearest one. When a picture is complete it shines, and you can watch a time-lapse replay of how you painted it.
