Gameplay
The player cannot alter anything about the pages except for the colors. Pictures can be colored from a palette of 16 colors. Clicking on the mix button will "mix" the current with the 15 other colors and give a total of 256 colors. Choosing a color and clicking on a picture will fill it with the selected color. The finished, or in progress, coloring was automatically saved to disk. The player can click the "oops" button to remove all colors applied previously and start coloring from the very beginning. After the page is completed, the player can either print it or move on to the next page.
