I like how relaxing it is to click and create paintings, and the background music really helps with the atmosphere. It's good that the colours are chosen randomly, otherwise it would require too much thinking and not as much &quot;inspiration&quot;. One bug I noticed was that sometimes the prices change as you click buttons, before they disappear, possibly as a result of your fame changing?"},{"author_name":"alts","author_uid":"18267","time":"May 19, 2013 @ 6:53pm","epoch":1368989280,"text":"This is incredible.

You are trying to sell artworks to build up \u00a3200,000 to buy your own art gallery.\r\n\r\nYou create artworks by drawing rectangles onto canvas. You can then sell your artworks for money, or leave them in exhibition to increase your popularity, increasing prices of future works.\r\n\r\nOh, and this game is fully Potato compliant. I'm not going to tell you where the potato is, though. You'll just have to find out.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who don't like downloading things, I've thrown together a WebGL version. However, it's very temperamental, and almost completely untested. I highly recommend you ignore it and download the real version instead.\r\n\r\nWritten using Lua and the Love2D framework.
