Developed on Windows7 using Python2 and Pygame. Should run on Linux if you have Pygame installed. There's no audio.

This game simulates painting with a brush. You have to regularly dip your brush into paint in order to draw, and you have to mix the colors by yourself. It is not really a game in the usual sense, but you can try to replicate any image files by drawing over them, and receive numeric feedback about their matching.

I think this "game" represents minimalism by reducing color drawing to a single simple mechanic of pressing (left click) your brush (mouse cursor) to the paper, while still (at least theoretically) allowing complex images to be painted.

There is an in-game manual.
