I'm definitely going to steal some ideas from your game. Having the canvas be in a seperate location from the original painting was a lot better than what I tried to do with a transparent image. Your background art is simply better. Having a performance rating and an obvious way to compare the pixel art to the original painting really helps. It is cool, because most of the paintings are still easily recognisable, even when pixelized.

Feel free! I am blessed to have an amazing artist as a friend, could not do it without him. If you want to chat feel free to add me on discord (username: bioluminescent_schlong)
Yeah, the performance rating was something we knew we wanted, but it took a bit of thinking to come up with a way so you wouldn't get graded too harshly.
Also, I played your game and left a comment over there. Great job though, really cool idea!
