How does your game relate to the theme?
My game relates to the theme of "Flow" because of the paint! The paint 'flows' onto the canvas. (I also chose an otter because their movements are flowy but thats just a side part to the main mechanic of painting)

Really fun game, I liked the vibe, the sounds were perfect for the game, I'm looking forward to see more of your projects!!

I mostly agree with the comments from the other reviewers. I wonder if it’d be possible to have some way to assess the painting actually follows the object composition. I guess it’s not necessary but it would “gamify” the painting experience.

Ah yeah i was trying to get a grading system and spent a couple hours on it but it just didnt end up working!

Fun little game! The art was very fun and cute and I appreciated the calm gameplay. I think some more overarching goal, like making more paintings to unlock new objects, tools, colors, etc would be good. The one music track got old quick and the reset between rooms was odd. Very polished, dragging the objects around for the still life was very glitchy. I think the timer was very unnecessary, it doesn't add anything and really just takes away from the calming mood. Overall, a very cute and cozy game.

Very cute little game!

Some small ideas/suggestions I had while playing:
- The colour of the floor in the room is maybe a bit too saturated. Since the furniture is largely the same colour as the floor, it doesn't really 'pop' out, but all blends into one brown whole.
- The music resetting between each new room feels a bit jarring. Plus, using the same short song for the whole game can get a bit tiring.
- It would be nice to unlock more objects to place after each painting you're done with, so that the gameplay can remain fresh for a bit longer.

Hopefully this feedback is somewhat helpful to you :)

Oh my I am in love with the color palette!

Making the little room for the otter wasn't necessary but it added so much charm and personality to the game, great decision. Also funny pet lobster, that's what I drew.

Never in my life have I wished this much to become a painting otter with a pet lobster. Loved the chill vibe of the game!

Wasn't expecting this level of awesomeness. Jimmy is now my favorite pet! This could turn into something pretty cool in the long run, well done! I kind of feel like there's not much you can do besides drawing but I really like how polished this looks.

Now add a shop, where you buy more stuff for your house and you can also paint it. but also decorate your house .... already a better concept then animal crossing

Great game! The artwork and design of the game is very well done. Everything is well polished and works super well. My only problem would be the lack of gameplay or variety of what to do, but it is still fun to paint and I think the simplicity appeals to the feel the game was going for.
