\"\"<\/a>Love Colors is a pixel art paint by numbers game.\u00a0 Choose from several categories of pictures, including food and animals, and paint them square by square.\u00a0 There are tons of pictures to paint, and even more you can buy through DLC.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on Switch, PC, and mobile devices, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

After you choose a picture, you can move a cursor around and press a button to fill in squares with the right color.\u00a0 But don\u2019t worry if you color in the wrong square.\u00a0 It\u2019ll color it in, but still show the number so you can fill it in with the right hue later.\u00a0 And once you have filled in a square correctly, it won\u2019t let you color it in again.\u00a0 You can switch colors with the shoulder buttons, but once you finish a certain number, it\u2019ll automatically go to the next, so you really don\u2019t need to do that.\u00a0 You can stop coloring a picture and come back to it where you left off later, too.<\/p>\n

After a while you\u2019ll earn fills and \u2018splats\u2019 that\u2019ll let you color faster, but you only get a limited amount of them for some reason.\u00a0 I guess you can use those if you\u2019re in a hurry, but it usually takes less than five minutes to color a picture anyway.\u00a0 Aside from using a controller to move the cursor around, if you are playing in handheld mode you can also use the touch screen to color as well!\u00a0 Interestingly enough, up to four people can color a picture at the same time.\u00a0 You can do this to paint a picture faster with friends, or maybe even make up competitive games to see who can color fastest.<\/p>\n

I had a few problems with this game.\u00a0 First, they don\u2019t really explain how to play very well at the beginning.\u00a0 Granted it\u2019s pretty easy to figure out, but still.\u00a0 There\u2019s not a lot of room for creativity either, as you really can\u2019t choose what colors you want to use.\u00a0 I think it would\u2019ve been cool, and probably not hard to make, to have a feature that lets you design your own pixel art to color.\u00a0 Also I just never really understood the point to these video color programs.\u00a0 If you do paint by numbers on paper, you can at least hang it up on a refrigerator, frame it, or give it to someone.\u00a0 But here you can\u2019t really do anything with it except look at it on the video screen.\u00a0 I guess this might give you some craft ideas if you\u2019re into Perler Beads or cross-stitching.\u00a0 And if coloring is one of those activities that relaxes you, you may want to try this game out anyway.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love Colors is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Alcohol Reference.\u00a0 There is a \u2018drink\u2019 category of pictures where you can color things like a milk carton or a glass of orange juice alongside pictures of beer bugs, wine bottles, and flasks.\u00a0 Reading skill and number recognition is helpful, and parental supervision is recommended for the in-game DLC purchases.\u00a0 Because of the non-competitive multiplayer aspects this game has, it may be a good fit for parents and kids to have some quiet-time bonding.\u00a0 Plus, budding game designers can use this to see what goes into making sprite characters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
