Sloppy Forgeries, a competitive painting and party game, is getting ready to hit Steam next week. In Sloppy Forgeries, you get three minutes to butcher an iconic masterpiece from art history with your mouse. The game scores your forgery pixel by pixel in real time, revealing your accuracy percentage and every pixel you missed when time’s up. Compare, laugh, try again.

How well can you do trying to paint the Mona Lisa in three minutes? At launch there will be 4-6 colors available as well as three brush sizes: Medium, Big, and Too Big. There is no “Undo” feature so you have to live with your creation and no “Fill” feature either, so no cheating having your canvas filled with color at a moment’s notice. Your score will be based on every pixel that you paint.
