DINOZZZ - 3D Coloring

Since before Jurassic Park kids and adults alike were fascinated by dinosaurs. They were giant reptile that roamed the Earth millions of years ago; they had massive teets, could walk, crawl, swim or even fly and inspired as much horror as they did awe.  For all their epicness, DINOZZZ - 3D Coloring comes as a child-friendly 3D coloring app that will allow you and your children to recreate their appearance and learn something along the way.

Currently, the app boasts a bestiary of 9 dinosaurs, from the well-known T-Rex to the giant Stegosaurus. Their models are detailed while still retaining some simplistic features, allowing the app to occupy as little disk space as possible while still delivering a realistic experience.

The premise of the app is simple: watch the dinosaur carefully, then recreate the colors and patterns of its skins as accurately as possible. This is done with the help of a 3D blank canvas shaped like your dinosaur of choice, and a selection of colors.

Sometimes they move during the coloring process, and if you were holding the mouse button down at that moment, you'd accidentally create streaks of colors. Of course, depending on how you see this, it can either be a drag, or an element that adds extra realism.

While the idea itself of painting dinosaurs seems cool when you first hear of it, the controls are a bit lacking. The cursor's response times are laggy, the brush size cannot be changed, and there is no way you can turn the dinosaur to reveal its back or belly, so coloring those areas properly is especially difficult.  To make matters worse, some dinosaurs have patterns that are impossible to reproduce if you don't use your imagination to some extent ( like overlapping the brushes to creates the raptor's stripes).

Appart from the coloring part, the app brings some extra educational features in the form of trivia information regarding each species.

DINOZZZ - 3D Coloring is an excellent tool for keeping the kids busy while they try to paint those twitchy dinosaurs, but if you're a perfectionist that wants to recreate the patterns down to the last stripe and spot, then you're in for a hard time.
