Colors! is a digital painting application for the Nintendo DS, iPhone and iPod Touch. It was voted the most popular homebrew application on the Nintendo DS by readers of the R4 for DS blog. [1]

History

Colors! was originally released in June 2007 as a simple homebrew painting application for the Nintendo DS. It was developed by Jens Andersson, a programmer and designer who was on sabbatical from the games industry and wanted to experiment with the potential of the new handheld platform. Shortly after, Rafał Piasek created an online gallery where users could upload paintings made with the program.

Colors! quickly became one of the best-known homebrew applications on the Nintendo DS and, in September 2008, it was also released fo the iPhone and iPod Touch. As of August 2010, it had been downloaded almost half a million times. [2]

Development of Colors! DS homebrew officially came to an end in December 2010[3] although the official gallery still accepts submissions from DS users and the unofficial forums remain active. However, it has recently been announced that it is set to be released on the eShop for Nintendo 3DS towards the end of 2011, thereby giving it a wider audience than its previous incarnation. [4]
