“Coloring Pixels, developed and published by ToastieLabs, is a game that thrives on restraint. It takes a concept so simple it almost feels trivial—coloring by numbers—and builds an experience around it that is quietly…”

“Chill game. I like it! Will give it 4/5 though, because there's just something about the grids and fonts that make my eyes hurt, and none of the zoom levels feel quite right because of it. Also, I recommend using a…”

“This game has nice music, and is made with quality in mind. I think that there are far too many achievements for one to complete the game, but otherwise, it is a fun challenge, and also fun to make your own art!”

— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I laughed. I cried. I coloured for nine consecutive hours. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unflinching exploration of obsession. I will never stop colouring. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Exactly what I wanted.” “Deeply soothing.” “Why is it 3 a.m.””
— a player, Steam review · 526 hrs played“The game is free but this is like giving an addict a spoon and a lighter. Once you start you may not be able to stop. I once played this 3 days straight without sleeping... buyer beware. But if you like relaxing games that you can play while you do other stuff I haven't yet…”
