[konzern]

You know the drill a/c, konzern here once again bringing you yet another great app

NAME
What The Doodle!?

PRICE
FREE

DIRECT DOWNLOAD


This is my first game review so bear with me. I initially downloaded this app/game because i saw "ADC2" on the description and thought to myself LETS SEE WHAT THE DEVS HAVE IN STORE FOR ADC2 and let me just say, if this is what devs have in store for us then its gonna be a good challenge


WTD!? is pictionary style of game but with a more modern twist. You play against/with people all over the android world The first time i played this game it took me back to grade school playing pictionary with the class and a friend of mine trying to draw "sideburn" but he didnt know what a sideburn was so he drew a person getting burned on his side and random stuff like that, needless to say, nobody figured out what his word was.



When you open the game it will show a quick notification telling you how many people are online and how many games are in play at the moment. From this screen you can go into the options tab and edit your name, your face doodle (this is like your avatar,) turn "simulate strokes" on and off and turn one touch chat on and off.

Face Doodle
You can personalize your "avatar" to whatever you like, doodle a funny face or write your name its really up to you what you want to display

THIS IS MINE
Simulated Strokes
Simulated strokes is an option when you have a bad connection and makes the game a little faster BUT the doodles not so accurate.

One Touch Chat
One touch Chat is more for users with a full touch screen phones. I turned on this option not knowing what it was and after that i couldnt figure out why i couldnt chat or post answers with my keyboard, well it was because this only works when your phone is closed and will pop up your touch screen keyboard

So if we go back to the main menu we can start playing a game by either clicking Find a Game or Private Game

Find A Game
In this tab you just choose the type of game you want to play and it will automatically find an open game for you. You can choose from
-easy
-medium
-hard
-team medium
-team hard
-freestyle


The games consist of groups of 5 players. As of now the game is in its early stages so the only place that gets people is on easy so i havent had the chance to play any other modes besides easy. It takes a while for 5 people to join the game but in the meantime the people that have already joined the game can chat with each other to pass the time you might even run into the developer of the game and give him some feedback on his awesome game his username is CHE.

The point of the game is simple everyone gets a turn with a secret word that they have to doodle and the rest of the players have to try and guess what it is. You win points for every doodle you figure out and the player with the most points wins the game. simple right? Yeah i guess it IS pretty simple but it gets addicting because sometimes you just cant draw a good enough picture with your finger


This was my drawing, as you can see on the top right of the screen it shows what your word is and at the bottom it shows the other players guesses. Whenever its your turn to doodle, instead of the chat box at the bottom right you get a pencil icon that brings up some options for your doodle (i didnt get it on the first screen shot because im such a good doodler that they quickly guessed my answer)


Pass
This is useful when you get a word you simply cant doodle or have just given up on trying to doodle

Close Guess
Whenever a player guesses something close to the secret word then you choose this option to let him/her know they are on the right track. I talked to the developer and told him/her that this option is a little hidden and would like to see it integrated into the actual doodle page.

Clear
Whenever your doodle just gets all messy or is not the picture you wanted to paint just click on this and you will get a brand new canvas

Besides these three options you also get color options and the size of the brush you use, great addition for all you picassos out there

here are some doodles from the other players i was playing against. Try and guess what they were trying to draw





If you think you know what the secret word is then all you would have to do is click on the chat bubble on the lower right hand and type your guess. There is no penalty for wrong answers so just type in whatever you think it is. If your guess is right you win that round and win points, the player with the most points at the end of the rounds wins.

SUMMARY
To be honest i think this is the funnest time i have had with my g1 since i bought it or since i rooted it. WTD!? is very addicting and fun for all ages. I cant wait to see what other features the developer implements. Hopefully this game gets more traffic so that the competitions can get even more interesting.

PROS
-doodling is always fun
-multi-player
-fun for all ages

CONS
- "close guess" is a little hidden for my taste
- sometimes hard to connect to server
- force closes every now and then
