Pixel Pet Painter
Lo-fi pixel pets sit half-colored — tap to drag a color bucket across the grid and finish the picture before the customer walks out.
Pick a color, drag across cells to fill, complete the pet picture within a strict timer per customer.
Tap and drag across cells to paint — single thumb.
