Man, whoever Sethard is is pretty good at these! I'm not as good. Doing better on the ipad though. Managed to make them lol with my drawing of "comic"! Having a lot of fun with this.

Kind of strange to think that it took until now for a Pictionary-lite game to hit iOS and become popular.

How many of you guys are playing on tablets? Some of these drawings are wonderful (stylus helps, obviously, but I imagine the extra screen real estate must help also?)

I wish I had of screen grabbed it, but my partner drew a wonderful picture of Usher, though it was of a theatre, and a man with a flashlight leading people to their seats.

I'm officially addicted.

I'm not even close to as good as the guy in the OP, but here are some of my favorites so far.

I like this game but there are way too many words that get repeated :(

Buy the full version. Stop being cheap and shell out the 99 cents. It adds 2000 words. I've yet to repeat a drawing and I've got 35 games running right now with many at or above 15-20 turns.

I've been playing this so much. Some of my people are at 99.

Thing is, the word pool is limited. It's more a guessing game from the words now.


I propose that guessing should also have difficulty.

1: 10 letters to select from (easy)
2: 12 letters to select from (medium)
3: no letters (just a keyboard) (hard)

Each level earns that number of coins for the guesser.

No letters? Hell naw son! I like the concept, though! Hopefully OMGPOP is working on refinements, and not Draw Something 2 for $1.99 :/

Ah, didn't realize the full version had more words. I'd probably dip then

I'm using this game as an interesting experiment for myself. Heheh. I'm trying to draw as well as possible as a daily exercise using this game. I wonder if I can improve after awhile.

They still get repeated. I'm not sure I've seen a new word in quite some time. Yes, I have the full version. Like I said, it's practically a word guessing game now. I just hope they add more.

NO letters for 3 coins! Gotta have the guesser earn it! otherwise you can just keep earning 2 for the standard 12 letters.

It's a genius idea, and you know it.

The best thing about this game is how the actual drawing part is transmitted, not just the final picture. So you can tell a story with your picture, and you can see the other person guess. It's asynchronous done right!

I think it's possible. I mean, yea, they are just sketches, but I certainly feel that sketching is also a skill that can be improved upon. Not everything we practice has to become a work of art or lead to a final draft. I've definitely improved. Oh, and when you start unlocking color packs you'll really see your sketches flourish.

I'm sure EVENTUALLY they get repeated, lol. But I wouldn't call it repetitive. I'd say it's a second chance to draw the same thing differently, from a different angle/perspective, or using a different style.

Up it to 5 coins and we got ourselves a deal.

Agreed. I love that aspect of it.

Jeez you guys try so hard to draw so well! Maybe I should start trying. Might squeeze out some more fun out of this game.

Do you start out with the same four colors in the paid version, or do you get the whole pallet? I've been playing this for about a week and a half and barely have enough coins to buy more colors. Kind of frustrating.

But the full version. You get 400 extra coins.

Also have as many games running as possible. That way you will rack up coins pretty easily.

I've bought about 4 color packs so far.

I accidentally bought the green one...:(

Same, but you get 400 coins, so you can buy a palette.

Protip: get the free version and get 5 bombs, then get the paid so you have 10 bombs!*

*bombs are for losers.

Yup. I think I have everything but the "shades of..." series. I'll probably hold off on those for a while. I don't feel like they add much as opposed to the other packs.

I can't even draw a straight line how are you guys capable of all of this.
Click to expand...

My thoughts exactly. I can barely draw a stick figure but I'm still having fun with the game, I've been playing it with a couple brothers and friends. It kinda makes me want to learn proper drawing techniques.

But anyway if anyone wants someone else to play with and doesn't mind horrible drawings my username on there is 'alexxeon'

This game is so amazing. Or I guess, well done.
I just went my friend a comic book, where I just drew a bunch of scenes and made the word pizza into a shitty story about a delivery boy who was late for work, lol. My first attempt at this new genre of drawesomeness.
