Mask & Match - A Game That Makes You an Artist

Mask&Match is a drawing game for discovering and enjoying art. To win, you simply trace over the masked drawing and when the mask is matched the art is revealed, showing the bracing details of the artwork. As you win, the main rewards are your improved drawing skill and the feeling that you are joining the author in creation of the masterpiece.


HOW TO PLAY

Every level starts with a traceable image showing where to draw. Your objective is to pan with your finger or Pen over the image and try to trace it as precisely as possible, matching the lines. The progress bars on the top (green vs red) let you watch your success and/or failures. You complete the level when all of the traceable image is drawn over. If the red bar reaches the center faster than the green, you lose and the game prompts you to try the level again. When all the levels are completed, the game lets you reveal the art with all the high resolution details or proceed to the next artwork.

You can zoom or scroll if you find it difficult to trace the image at the default zoom level. To zoom, just pinch with two fingers, to scroll — pan with two fingers.


GALLERY

The Gallery presents the true masterpieces of famous authors including Rembrandt, Jan van Eyck, Ingres, Leonardo da Vinci. Even though these are well known artworks, the game shows them from a different angle. It makes you look closer, lets you imagine how to draw the masterpiece, wakes up your interest and reveals the true value. The outlines are carefully crafted by established professional artist
Anastasiia Podervianska.


TECHNOLOGY

Mask&Match aims to stay on the cutting edge of technology and adheres all the best practices to deliver efficient, reliable, and engaging app. The complete list of technologies would be too long, but please let me proudly name just some of them.

The app is written in Swift from the ground to get highest possible runtime performance. It uses CoreAnimation and SceneKit to provide the responsive drawing and immersive game experience. With Auto Layout and Adaptive UI it universally runs on all your devices, orientations, supports split view multitasking on iPad. Mask&Match supports the Advanced Touch pressure of iPhone 6 and Apple Pen with iPad Pro, so lets you adjust the thickness of your unmasked drawing. With App Thinning and On-Demand resources it is delivered optimized specifically for your device, dynamically downloads game levels with hi-resolution, no-compromise quality artworks.
