There's no question about it, Sloppy Forgeries is the sloppiest friendslop I have seen in a while.

In it, you grab a few friends and test out your painting skills by competing in short, quick-fire rounds where you are tasked with replicating a famous piece of artwork all the way down to pixel-perfect precision (or lack thereof), trying to make the least sloppy fake out of everyone in the group, but without any modern tools such as fill or undo.

Take your pick from 50 historical paintings and paint away to the sound of more than eight dramatic piano pieces punctuating your artistic endeavour – which takes place online with up to 8 people, or locally with 2 mice (or even a drawing tablet, if that is your preference), with real-time feedback showing a bar fluctuating as you put brush to canvas. If art isn't your forte, then don't worry, as you can use limited-time tools – such as grids – to spot differences between the original and your slopp... I mean superior ...forgery.

You might be thinking, is this just like any other painting competition game out there? Well, there is actually a very unique mechanic that Sloppy Forgeries uses to judge your art; as I mentioned before, pixel-precise judging that checks each individual pixel and sees how accurate it is compared to the source, leading to Sloppy Forgeries requiring quite a bit of skill (or just really unskilled friends) to win.

If you create a reborn masterpiece that you simply can't let go, then don't worry, because your painting archive will store all of your created forgeries stored locally on your computer to show off your proudest piece to anyone you want.

If you want a game that you can sit down with a few mates, artists or not, then I think Sloppy Forgeries might be worth a check out, especially with the demo for free on Steam.
