For the price of a pint, I got this via Steam on my Mac.

Unhindered by time limits or score limits or lives or any of that sort of thing, you wrap wooden statues in rope. The rope paints the statue. You get achievements and progress by painting as much of the statue as possible. The rope is attached to the statue by a nail and is held, under tension, by an invisible hand in the direction of the player. Using the mouse, you rotate the statue thus feeding in the rope.

Some ropes have paint bombs at intervals along the length, and some statues have paint bombs on nails hammered into the statue.

There are lots of statues to paint, and lotus flowers are awarded for increased coverage. For example, you'll get one flower for 65% coverage, and three for 100%.

The presentation is flawless, and the gameplay is designed to relax rather than stimulate, to reward rather than punish.

For £3.50, you can't go wrong.
