Fill each numbered area with its colour
Numicolor is a colour-by-number game that opens straight onto a line drawing, starting with a cupcake topped with a cherry. Every area carries a number, and the palette down the right side holds the matching colours. Choose a colour and the areas you can paint turn checkered, then tap them to fill them in. A short tour explains the basics, and a hint button waits in the top corner.
How to play Numicolor
- Take the short tour, or skip it if you know the idea.
- Select a colour in the palette on the right; its areas turn checkered on the picture.
- Tap or click those areas to fill them, and the swatch shows a ring as that colour fills up.
- Drag to move the picture and use the mouse wheel to zoom into small areas.
- Work through every number until the whole picture is coloured.
