How to Play Pixel Copy

A small pixel picture appears on the grid for a few seconds. Study it closely, because then it disappears and you have to paint it again from memory on the empty grid before the timer runs out.

Pick a colour from the swatches at the bottom and tap or drag on the grid to paint squares. The white swatch is the rubber. Tap Done when you are happy, or wait for the timer.

Your copy is then shown next to the real picture, with every wrong square marked, and you score for how close it is. A perfect copy earns a bonus. A copy that is less than 60 percent right ends the game.

Pictures start small with only a few colours. They grow bigger and use more colours as you go, and the time to study them gets shorter.

Tips and Tricks

Every picture is a mirror image left to right, so remember one half and copy it across.
Remember the shape first, then fill in the colours.
Each colour has its own small mark, which helps if two colours look alike to you.
Painting the whole grid does not help, because only squares that are painted in the picture or in your copy count.

About the Game
