What players say

Players are split: some love it as the best art education tool they have tried, while others say it is mostly tedious tracing with too little freedom. Enthusiasts praise the fundamentals taught and the cozy music, but critics wish it let you skip steps and stop holding your hand. The game is still in early access and reviewers note that content has grown since 2025.
