I'm really fed up with these current mobile game manufacturers, all of them are like TM Financial Company. As soon as you open the interface, you can see the first recharge, monthly card, battle pass, and limited time gift package. I wish I could weld your bank card directly on the screen. When you draw a character, you have to keep it low, when you draw a weapon, it needs to be crooked, when you strengthen your equipment, it can still explode. After spending thousands of kryptons, you can't even beat the original, and then a new character comes out and rubs your newly drawn one on the ground. You call this a game? This is called electronic casino plus PUA.
To be honest, I haven't installed a new game on my phone for a long time, until I found something called "Unhappy Painting" yesterday. The name is quite strange, but the official website says it's a puzzle game and free with no in-app purchases, so I gave it a try. As a result, I played for two hours and couldn't stop at all.
The gameplay of this game is ridiculously simple. You are given a picture. There is a missing piece on the picture, such as a missing wheel, a missing umbrella handle, or a missing cat tail. You use your fingers to draw it on the screen and fill it in. It doesn't matter if the drawing doesn't look like it, the system will recognize the rough shape and pass it off. Even if your drawing is crooked, it can “brain-make” it into the correct shape for you, which is very tolerant. Each level is a little brain teaser. You have to first observe what is missing on the picture, and then think about what shape to draw. Sometimes you have to use the occlusion relationship to trick the system, which is particularly interesting.
What makes me most comfortable is that there is no recharge entry for this game from beginning to end. There is no stamina bar, no daily tasks, no VIP levels, and no red dots forcing you to go to the shopping mall. You just play one level after another, and use your brain when you get stuck. If you really can't pass, you can just watch an ad to get a hint. The ads are very short, less than thirty seconds, and they are not forced pop-ups. You take the initiative to watch them. For this reason, I just want to kowtow to the developer. Look at them, the original intention of making games is still there, unlike those "labels" who spend all day thinking about how to take advantage of your wallet.
As for that "super simple and easy to use" thing? Bah. The first twenty levels are really simple and can be drawn by kindergarten children. After reaching level 30, it really starts to burn your brain. You have to consider the composition, position, and even the direction of the shadow. Sometimes you draw the right place but the angle is different and you end up wrong. Last night I was stuck in a level of drawing a camel's hump. I drew a wave, but it said it was the moon. I was so angry that I almost threw my phone away. But when you finally pass the level after trying several times, the sense of accomplishment is much better than getting an SSR.
Moreover, the graphics of this game are hand-painted, which makes it comfortable to look at, and the color scheme is also warm. There is no copper smell like recharge pop-ups that fill the screen. The developer is called Shenzhen Kesheng Network Technology Co., Ltd. I am not familiar with the name, but I remember it. If there were more companies like this, the gaming industry would be scolded every day.
I know there must be people in this forum who are going to say things like "no one makes independent games" and "stand-alone games can't make money". But that's not the player's problem, it's the producers who chose the wrong path. You play games well, I didn't say you wouldn't spend money. I don't feel bad about the buyout system, DLC, and concert merchandise. But if you want me to eat shit and thank you for passing me a spoon, then I'm sorry, I'd rather play Tetris.
Anyway, I sincerely recommend the game "Unhappy Painting". Zero krypton, no social interaction, no sex, it's as pure as a childhood summer vacation. If you are disgusted by those krypton gold games, you might as well change your taste. It doesn't matter if you don't draw well, just use your brain. Finally, this game is version 4.4. I don't know if more gameplay will be updated in the future, but the dozens of levels so far are worth the price of admission - no, it doesn't cost money at all. More value. 😄
Okay, let's stop talking about it, I'm going to finish the last level. No matter how I drew the tree roots, they looked like intestines, which made me so angry.
