More about this game
Fingerprint Masterpiece is a relaxing creative experience where you make art using colorful fingerprints on a 1320 by 2112 digital canvas. The goal is simply to create something beautiful. The core loop involves touching and holding the canvas to stamp a print, which grows larger at a speed of 235 units per second the longer you hold it. The prints use a multiply blend mode with 0.67 opacity, allowing colors to mix. There is no end state; clear the canvas to restart.
Tips
- Hold the input longer to reach the maximum print size of 570, or release quickly for the minimum size of 120.
- Layer multiple prints over each other to see how the 0.67 ink opacity blends the colors using the multiply composite operation.
- Notice how each print applies a slight random rotation of up to 0.17 radians, giving your artwork a natural, hand-stamped appearance.
Questions
How do I change the color of the fingerprint?
The color changes automatically every time you start a new print. It cycles through random hues, shifting the color wheel by at least 74 degrees, with high saturation and medium lightness.
What happens if I hold the screen for a long time?
The fingerprint will grow at a rate of 235 units per second until it hits the maximum size limit of 570. After that, it stops growing even if you keep holding.
How do I erase a single mistake?
You cannot erase individual prints or undo your last action. You must use the Clear button at the bottom of the screen to erase the entire canvas and start completely fresh.
