The game is pretty simple. Pick a word from a list of options, each word offers one, two or three coins based on its difficulty.

After picking a word, you draw a picture on your phone's touchscreen. You can purchase colour packs too!

Ok, that's obviously NOT a shape of a car

Once you're done with your masterpiece, send it over to a friend via Messenger to guess. If they get it right, you'll be awarded coins.

Doodle Draw's gameplay might look familiar to you because it totally looks like Draw Something, the 2012 drawing game app that took the world by storm, only to die down a few months later

Pretty similar uh?
