![]() They are adorable though and its really cool to see. They truly do come to life each with its own personality as it moves along the walls to help you out, they will sometimes ask you for certain drawings such as an apple as they are hungry, either filling up your super paint(we’ll talk about that in a second) or completing one of those tasks for you to help you proceed further.
