Review #7 - 2022
This is a game I hold dearly to my heart. I remember it fondly, but never had a means to relive it, until I discovered the wonderful world of Virtual Machines. Indeed, I did what I needed to do, installed the game into my virtual XP, and voilà, that ear worm of an intro starts playing, and I was transported back into that elementary school computer lab. Things were about to get wacky!
And it's exactly as I remembered! Wacky brushes and pens and stamps galore. Many different ways to manipulate your paintings with the whisk tool, as well as all kinds of textures to make your digital paintings pop! There's backgrounds and sounds to go with your image to bring them to life, a stick of dynamite to start fresh, and of course, the unforgettable undo button. I click it, and I get an autotuned "Now wait a minute!" to fix my mistake. Gosh I missed this game.
Kid Pix began as a way to make digital painting fun, and it certainly succeeded, inspiring many children like myself back in the day, to create and let their imaginations soar as they did so. It's still much fun to mess with as an adult, and I'm certain that if you share this with the next generation, they'll enjoy it too!
