HOW TO PLAY
An original illustrated character appears in full color for a few seconds. Focus on the named target part.
The target region resets to gray. Tune hue, saturation, and lightness while the character updates live.
See the reference and your version side by side, earn up to 100 points, then share the five-round result.
