Well, we currently have no plans regarding Quizarium II but who knows, the day could come.

Also, steven0451 - you have been invaded!

I must say that all the hype around Draw Something is becoming a bit annoying, when Charadium II is so, by far, superior feature-wise. And in most or all other respects.

I understand that it might be hard for casual players to distinguish and look for alternatives to a hyped app, or even know that there is another game like it, but when sites like ign.com and imore.com recommends Draw Something without mentioning Charadium II as an alternative, many users might be missing out on a better option.

Anthony, if you haven't already, perhaps you should pester these sites to do a comparison, or at least review Charadium II as a follow-up to their Draw Something coverage. And launch a slightly unethical banner campaign that says something along the lines of "You like Draw Something? You'll like this better", or "You want to draw something? Then try the better alternative"

I absolutely agree! Advertising will help this game get noticed! I've been using word of mouth to get my friends into Charadium. I've managed to get 12 of them hooked! Still, they play Draw Something just as much. And when I ask why, simply, it's because more of their friends play it. They also said it's easier to find/access their friends through Draw Something than it is with Charadium.

So my suggestion would be to combine the two friends tabs (invite friends and manage friends) into one. Less confusion. And from I've seen, once you look up your Facebook friends in Draw Something, it makes a nice list with all of their names and pictures and the game never has to exit the app to get that info, it loads it right up. When I try the same approach with Charadium, the app sometimes exits out to Facebook momentarily then comes back to the game with a list of usernames rather than their real names, which can be hard to figure out who's who. Display their pictures and real names and I'm sure this will help!

i still want to be moderator^^ i hate all those stopid asses who write words, win the match, and not get kicked by other members. Argh!

I like that you updated the game for the ipad's retina display, although i dont see it for download yet...

Im also borgqueenx ingame, can i get that icon?
im also the guy who mailed you serveral times with suggestions, and had that translation offer. I dont want money anymore for it, but found several misspellings already. I'l just make screenshots of those and mail them some day

The difference between drawsomething and charadium that i like is, in charadium once someone guesses what your drawing thats your turn over and that can be as little as a few seconds. Its hard to finish a drawing let alone make a decent one.. hence most of the time the tools are not needed.. In drawsomething you have as long as you like to make whatever drawing you want. you can spend an hour if you like creating something good.

The Asynch play doesn't have that problem, and that's what's more like Draw Something, plus you can have up to four players instead of just two. What I want to know is how many words does Charadium II have, because the word list in Draw Something is woefully inadequate. Is CII any better in that regard? I haven't played it enough to find out yet.

My experience with the live play wasn't great. People were jerks, bashing folks who aren't the best drawers, and also people wrote words. I guess that comes with the territory when you're playing randoms, though.

Hello,
I really enjoy playing Charadium with my friends and I thought about creating a website where Charadium players from all over the world can upload their drawings. So at first I wanted to ask in some forums if you would appreciate this idea?
Pls reply to this
thanks
best regards

One of the flaws I see in this game, as compared to Draw Something, is that Charadium tries to make the game have a winner and loser in the asynch game. It makes no sense. I played a game with a random, I can safely say that my drawings were worse, but I won, and then it was over. It's trying to shoehorn a game into something that isn't really a game. Draw Something does get that right - recognizing that in this form it isn't really a game at all. DS just needs a (much) better word list.

Thanks for the icon!
Why was King of the hill removed though? It used to be a nice endless mode, the only mode I used to play
