    Fans of Pictionary and iSketch.net, this is the game for you.

    Depict is a unique multiplayer drawing game that tests players’ ability to solve simple drawing puzzles with friends and strangers.

    In each round, a puzzle containing up to six words is presented to the drawer and the guessers.

    The drawer’s job is to draw something that will get everyone else to guess the correct word. When guessing, the goal is to guess correctly before your fellow players to earn the most points.

    Sound easy? You only get 1,024 jumbo-pixels and 30 seconds to do it.

    • Online multiplayer over WiFi, 3G and EDGE
    • Quick matches, private games, and solo play
    • Invite and play against your OpenFeint friends
    • OpenFeint achievements & leaderboards
    • New player drawings added to solo play every day
    • Constantly adding new puzzles

    Whether you play solo, online with strangers, or with friends in the same room, Depict will keep you entertained for hours.

    We're planning to launch the game on sale for just $0.99 (%50 off regular price of $1.99).

    Can't wait for the launch? Play a mini-preview of the game online right now.

    Yeah, thanks to all the beta testers who helped out!

    We got a few TA forum members but a big thanks to Zincus, appfreak, & megasamus1 for being the top performers :)

    We're excited about the launch. Waiting for approval is the worse part, but hopefully it'll be soon.

    Your welcome :)

    The game is a lot of fun, drawing and guessing pictures with actual people, especially your friends is the best.

    One of my favorite parts about the game are the smiley face selections. In the game you can select a face to represent your emotions at the time. If you sad you got it wrong, or surprised no one guessed your drawing. There are lots of faces to choose from.

    And it has OpenFeint! Achievements and the ability to request private matches with your friends is great.

    I hope this game does very well, and to have lots of people online!

    Based on Apple's current 14 day estimate, it should be out around the 7th of December. We'll repost when it's available.

    Or it could spiral out of control and be there for 2 months...u nvr know with apple's approval system, even with a guarantee. I really hope it's two weeks though, or maybe even less with the way some of the games have been pouring out lately.

    We just posted a mini-preview of the game on our site.

    The web-based version features gameplay similar to the solo-play mode in the full game. Of course the full version of the game has way more features, but this should give you some idea of what the game is like. Have fun!

    There is another pictionary game in the store but it was hampered by a small dictionary and bugs. Hopefully yours makes a better entry into the field.

    I'm confident it will be the best so far.

    We've made a number of enhancements over a typical Pictionary clone. By removing typing and making all the puzzles multiple choice, the game plays a lot faster and makes it easier for everyone to have fun. Fast typers don't automatically dominate.

    As for word count, there are over 1000 words in the dictionary right now and we have plans to continually add to it.

    Guys, I would like to record the Depict video review tonight. Any beta tester up for a quick one at 4PM Pacific time?

    Multiplayer is the most fun game mode. I have very good feelings about this one.

    I'll try and jump in with you. The final 1.0 version is slightly different from the version you have, but it should be fine. I'd send you the new version, but I'm away from my computer until about 6pm. The most notable difference is the app icon, so maybe just don't record that :p
