Free Coloring Update: Keyboard Controls, Controls Guide & Achievements

Pixel Coloring World · published · build 26365973

Hi everyone!

This update makes navigating your pictures easier, adds a brand-new way to play, helps new players get started and reorganizes achievements.

⌨️ Keyboard controls

  • W A S D or the arrow keys move around the picture.

  • + and − zoom in and out (both the main keyboard and the numpad work).

  • Mouse controls work just like before: scroll the wheel to zoom, hold the middle mouse button to drag the picture.

🎨 New: Free Coloring mode

Want to color without restrictions? Turn on the new toggle in Settings → Controls (it's off by default).

  • Paint any cell with any color, even if the number doesn't match.

  • Cells painted with the "wrong" color get a darker shade of that color, and the number stays visible, so you can always find and fix them later.

  • Paint the cell with its correct color at any time to fix it.

  • The bucket works too: it fills the whole connected area of that number.

  • In Tablet mode, wrong colors are only applied while you hold the left mouse button, so you won't smear colors by accident just by moving the cursor.

  • Mistakes don't count towards your progress: a picture is complete only when every cell has its correct color.

  • Your mistakes are saved with your progress, and turning the mode off later keeps them.

Not sure how it works? Click the ? button next to the toggle to see a quick visual explanation.

❓ Controls guide

  • When you open your first picture, a short guide shows how to paint (brush, bucket, eyedropper on the right mouse button), how to zoom and how to move around.

  • It only appears automatically once. You can reopen it at any time with the new ? button in the corner of the minimap.

  • Already playing? You'll see the guide once the next time you open a picture.

🏆 Achievements

  • Achievements are now split between the base game and the DLCs: 12 achievements in the base game and 12 in each DLC.

  • Every fully colored picture unlocks its own achievement.

  • Pictures you have already completed count too: their achievements unlock automatically when you open the main menu.
