It does not feature zooming capabilities, or let players draw pixel-by-pixels. It only uses 12 colors, and lets players select different types of canvas. Aside from normal pens, there are pens that draw pictures for players. For example, a circle drawn with a black pen may become a black tire, or a circle drawn with a blue pen may become a puddle of water, and a circle drawn with a yellow pen may become a full moon.

Players can save pictures they've drawn and record a three-minute movie clip showing their drawing's progression. Up to about ten clips can be recorded.
