Last month we heard that Facebook Messenger is actively
working on hosting games in its app. Now, it does. Released for Android and
iOS, Draw Something for Messenger functions on Facebook's Messenger Platform,
which was opened to third-party developers back in March.
Doodle Draw for Messenger is the first game launched for the
Facebook Messenger platform, and it is currently available to download in
select regions from Google Play and App Store. Users can also download the game
by tapping on the three-dot 'More' option in the Messenger app. Before this,
the chatting app only featured content creation, sharing, and curated content
apps on the platform.
The game should be familiar with those who have already
played 'Draw Something' video game as Doodle Draw features the same user
interface, gameplay style and more. The game suggests users something to draw,
which the users can scribble out and send to a Facebook Messenger contact. The
friend then would have to guess what the user has drawn. Earning more points
while playing would let users get access to more colours.
As reported by TechCrunch, the Doodle Draw for Messenger at
the time of launch let users earn in-game currency by inviting their friends to
play with them, which could lead to the spam that games like Candy Crush saga
were causing in a big way before Facebook tweaked its algorithms. Doodle Draw
developer Clay.io however removed the feature soon after. Doodle Draw for
Messenger weighs 4MB and runs on Android 4.0/iOS 6.0 and later OS versions.
Facebook on Wednesday announced that an Android version of
its Messenger app has been downloaded more than a billion times from the Google
Play store. It is worth noting that both Facebook and Google boast 1 billion
app downloads on Google Play.
