Phones and computers

Mug Painter is a pottery painting game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

Dip, brush, band and stamp glazes onto a mug, then fire it to match the customer's order card. The kiln turns every colour around the wheel, one step while warm and two once hot, so you paint the colour that comes before the one you want. A day has twelve customers, and three unhappy ones close the shop early.

Tips

The kiln is warm for customers 1 to 6 and hot from 7 to 12, so halfway through the day switch from painting one step back to two.
Fire with more than 25 seconds of the customer's 50 still left and a 3 coin tip is added, as long as the mug matches at least 60 per cent.
Bare clay never matches, so more coverage can only raise the score; dip the whole mug in the base colour before adding bands and stamps.

How much does each customer pay?

The price starts at 10 coins for the first customer and rises by 2 each customer to 32 for the twelfth. You receive the price times the share of the mug that matches the order, plus a 3 coin tip for firing early. Under 60 per cent match pays nothing and the customer leaves unhappy.

What do the four tools do?

Dip colours everything below the height you tap. Brush rubs glaze on where you drag. Band lays two straight rows across the mug at the height you touch. Stamp prints a star. Six glazes sit on a colour wheel, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and U undoes a step.
