Bring an idea. Add a little competitive spirit.
Let the pixels do the talking.
Receive the same prompt.
One shared idea, two separate pixel-art canvases. Decide how you will bring it to life.
Draw for five minutes.
Draw at the same time against the clock. Public matchmaking uses five-minute rounds.
Reveal and compare.
See both drawings side by side. AI judging is designed to score how well each drawing matches the prompt.
Find Your Friend and Send an Invitation
Both players sign in with Google and choose a username. Open Friends and search for the other player’s @username, or use Online players. Select Invite to play when they are available. They can accept from the notification; both of you then confirm readiness before the shared prompt appears. Adding a friend is optional.
Draw Together, Keep Your Own Canvas
Your friend’s drawing is a live preview; only you can edit your own canvas. Use the pencil, fill and shape tools to build your interpretation, then compare both drawings when the round ends.
Make Time for One More Round
Start with five minutes for a quick drawing game with friends. After a finished battle, both players can request a rematch. Keep playing together if you want another prompt.
Can’t Send an Invitation?
Check the exact @username and ask the other player to keep the game open. Both players must be online and available. Cancel any matchmaking search before inviting someone. If either player is already in a battle, finish it first. A pending or expired invitation may need to be resolved before trying again.
