PiB 2.1 Released - Play new paintings or create your own with Workshop!

Yes! This latest update adds Workshop features to Paint it Back.
Super-easy to use: From the main menu of PiB, click on Workshop, then click choose either Play or Create.

Play lets you browse and play paintings created by other players of PiB. Works with either mouse or gamepad/keyboard. There's about 30 90 new paintings up there already, some by me, some by the community. Titles include "Two Lives Left, One Kind of Drunk", "Bernie Sanders", "Donald Trump", "Television is Dead", "Iron Helm", "Coin-Op Game You Die When You Die", "Hipster Cat", "Tommy Gun" ...

Create is where you paint new paintings, validate/playtest, then upload to the community where they'll be playable from the Play section. This is basically like a really simple paint program, but there's a few things to keep in mind, particularly that you're creating a painting that also needs to be a fun/challenging puzzle. Check this guide here for more info.

It'd be awesome to see tons of paintings get uploaded. Would love to hear feedback/thoughts
in the forum about the new Workshop stuff...if you've got anything to say!
