Arkanoid for Painters is a browser-based arcade game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. It leans on drawing & art and block & tetris-like, so expect short rounds you can repeat. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Arkanoid for Painters
Destroy all blocks and enemies. Instead of using board just draw obstacles to prevent the ball from falling.
How to play Arkanoid for Painters
There is very little to learn before your first run. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.

|---|---|
| Mouse / trackpad | Draw and colour |
| Left click | Pick a tool or colour |
