About Sloppy Forgeries

Sloppy Forgeries is a chaotic, two-player local multiplayer painting game developed by Playful Systems LLC. Released on December 31, 2026, it falls under the arcade genre and plays out on PC. The premise is simple: two players share a screen, each with a mouse, and race to recreate famous artworks from history on shared or split canvases. The goal isn’t perfection but speed and slapdash accuracy, with rounds ending when one player finishes first. It’s a competitive, laugh-out-loud experience that turns art appreciation into a frantic, pixel-pushing duel.

Gameplay

Each round begins with a timer and a target painting like the Mona Lisa or Starry Night. Players use basic tools, brush, eraser, and color picker, to mimic the image. The twist is that both share the same canvas in co-op or battle over split-screen in competitive mode. Controls are clunky by design, with laggy cursor movement and limited tool options to amplify the messy fun. Matches last 3-5 minutes, and wins hinge on who can approximate shapes and colors faster. Multiplayer modes include “Hot Seat” for alternating turns and “Deathmatch” where incorrect guesses penalize the opponent. The game rewards quick thinking over artistic skill.

What Players Think

PlayPile’s community gave it a 4.2/5 rating with 88% of critics praising its “delightfully terrible fun.” Average playthroughs clock in at 3 hours, and 78% of players complete the 30-artist challenge mode. Moods are split between chaotic (62%) and humorous (38%), with few citing frustration. Top reviews highlight the “party game gold” factor and the joy of watching a modern art piece turn into a stick-figure nightmare. Only 12% of players hit all 40 achievements, mostly for completing rounds in under 30 seconds. The game’s 2-player limit and lack of online co-op draw minor complaints but rarely outweigh its charm.

PlayPile's Take

Sloppy Forgeries thrives in small doses and with friends who don’t mind terrible art. It’s best for those who enjoy competitive absurdity over polish, with 40 achievements offering replay value for speedrunners. At $19.99, it’s a low-risk pick for households with PC gaming mice to spare. Skip if you prefer solo creativity or deep mechanics. The game’s 78% completion rate suggests it’s addictive enough for casual play but unlikely to stick around long-term. Worth a try for the laughs, but don’t expect it to outlast your next pizza box.
