Paint the Star: speed meets precision

Paint the Star is a pressure test for speed and control. You must cover every last pixel of a sharp five-point star as fast as possible. The catch: paint outside the lines and time penalties stack instantly.

Why sharp shapes are harder than squares

Stars have narrow tips and deep concave angles. That geometry forces you to slow down, reposition, and resist overshooting. The faster you go, the more those corners punish sloppy movement.

How to play

Touch or click once to start the timer, then paint the star. Coverage ticks up in real time. When you reach 100%, the timer stops and your final time is locked.

How scoring works

Your final time includes all penalties for painting outside the star. Faster, cleaner runs win. Only your best time counts for the leaderboard. View the Top 50 leaderboard.

Tips to improve

  • Slow down at the tips; rushing costs more than it saves.
  • Trace the inner corners before you fill the big faces.
  • Short strokes beat wide sweeps near the edges.

FAQ

Does painting outside count for coverage?

No. It adds penalties but does not fill the star.

Why is my time higher than the clock?

Penalties add to your final time. Clean lines win.
