“Plus, the thumbnails are in grayscale and one must finish a painting in order to know if I will like the color; it is very tedious.”
“Would be nice if all the pixel hunting led to a nice picture, but the 'oil paintings' are blotchy, so the game is just tedious, not satisfying.”
“Pictures given are pretty, but when you have a gazillion little pieces to peck at with a lot of times coloring white on white, it becomes rather tedious.”
