Different Strokes
Update 11/10 We've released the game on Steam — get it here! Of course, the version on itch will remain playable with the same features.
Update 07/20 You can now create a user account and when you submit a picture while logged in it will associate that picture with your username so other people can see which paintings you created/edited.
When you view a painting there is a link to see other paintings by the same artist.
On the login page there's a notification icon so you can see how many likes your paintings have received.
⭐ Deluxe Edition ⭐
To help pay for server costs we have introduced a Deluxe Edition that includes several special features:
- 9 exclusive colors!
- smaller brush size
- brush smoothing
We really need your support to keep this game running so we hope you'll consider making this one time donation to unlock the latest features!
💬 We started a Discord Server!
Feel free to join to share your work, your favorites, and talk with other players/artists! 🖌️
Your friend, a conceptual artist, has invited you to their latest exhibition.
You enter expecting to see their art adorning the walls, but to your surprise, the VISITORS are the ones drawing the art — they’re even drawing over each other’s work! It’s up to you to protect the exhibition from being covered in artwork that is, intentionally or otherwise, truly awful.
- Explore a never-ending, ever-expanding gallery full of user-generated art — and snarky guests!
- Add a new layer to art that needs a redo!
- Draw new art to fill the exhibition!
- Rate art to boost the good and hide the bad!
All of the art exhibited in the game is 100% created and remixed and rated LIVE by other players. Yes, we host all of this art and load it in dynamically. We hope that you will choose to fix the (inevitable) unacceptable art!
In addition to the main gallery there is also a portal to the "gallery of the week". Every week there will be a new gallery with a particular theme. The main gallery is pretty crowded so your art may have a better chance of standing out in the gallery of the week!

Help. What is this place?
Can you add a feature that lets you change your account email/delete accounts? It turns out the email I initially used was wrong, and made a second account by accident. I even have deluxe on the first account, and I'd hate to loose it.
Will this be available for download for mac? I would love to get the deluxe version.
such a wholesome concept! Humans are so cute
i cant see the end of the horizon.... HATSUNE MIKU?!!?
This is such a fun and cute idea, thank you for creating it!
Nice concept but too many bad actors drawing tits and cocks. please remove tits and cocks.
I want LORE
Such an enjoyable game!

hummer sompsoon
whoever drew that pochita i tried to do it justice
What a lovely experience!
Racism At It's Finest.
Dont Be Racist Kiddo's.
Sounds delicious
💀
Has anyone else found this?
What the-
were you playing at night? why is it black?
Theres a button in settings if you click esc 2 times to get th esetting to show up theres one called "dark mode" it will turn black and white if you click it
WAIT I FOUND IT
Has anyone else seen this floating blue pyramid shape? It rarely shows up and seems to drift slowly from room to room randomly. If you take your eyes off of it, it disappears. Maybe it has to do with the exit?
May i ask, Are you in the normal non Premium Area?
Yes, I am. I found the statue in the above comment by going 11 blocks straight ahead of the entranc
i see alright ill try and find it
IVE SEEN IT ME TOO
going forward 11 rooms from the entrance (room past the statue room) then go back the way you came, while going back periodically check behind you and wait a few seconds to see if it appears.
can anybody find the exit? it's like infinity lo
wait.. ITS SCP 3008 ....
true
its either scp-3008 or the backrooms.. who knows lol
'
I think i went to far...
But anyway nice game 10/10!
I saw many different people in this game LOL(more than you expect
Lol its true theres so much weird stuff if you go far enough

我非常喜欢这个游戏,但身为另一个国家的人我无法安装它,这让我非常难过
I like this game very much, but as a person from another country, I can't install it, which makes me very sad
I translated the above content with translation software. I'm sorry my English is very poor
I don't know if i translated it correctly
不是可以直接下载吗?也有steam链接
我看到这个评论第一眼是在想:“为什么只有这条评论被翻译了?”,笑死。不过这个游戏不是可以HTML5用网页直接运行吗?
Ha...ha...ha...
Hot - Dog
hehe, get it..? No? ok...
Ha.. ha... ha.....
I like it
ha ha omg
hello i cant join the discord for some reason
What happens when you click the "discord" button in the pause menu?
For me, it just took me to a blank white screen but when I bring the link into another tab it works (not sure if it's just me though 🤷♂️).
AWESOME GAMMMEEEE PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
umm

Day five of being stuck
I keep on finding these ghosts... they remind me of my parents
There is no hope for me or anyone if you enter

Hey, I love this game especially since I love doodling, but the one thing I noticed is that I can't use my art tablet in this game which is weird because it's like a plug-in mouse. Other than that this game is my favorite!
I'm ashamed that it took me so long to discover this game. Having played SuchArt so much over the past two years, this was a natural transition and I've already lost hours in it, even though I just started yesterday. Lawd help me
how do i make a user on this game?
the sign in table
Thank you!
this game is stil updating!
this person drew swatiskas over my art and ruined it :(
it really sucks that people do this :(
(edit: it seems this person is also doing it over other peoples art and not just mine!)
yeah I saw a few users doing the same thing too,ruining good art.I hope there can be a report user feature :<
send me the link to it and I'll ask the devs to fix it in the discord
It's so chill and collaborative - I love it. (I drew a demon with the caption "give me your liver")
