You watch chunky colored blocks gradually refine into detailed pixel art as you passively accumulate upgrades and fame.

What players say
Players praise the unique drawing mechanic but find the game a slog. Progression is painfully slow and requires leaving the game open, which many see as a ploy to sell boosters. The number of pictures is low, leading to many repeats, and the ascension system is boring.
