Apple Arcade Adds Draw It+, A Drawing Game Where Speed Beats Skill
The game's scoring runs on whether the Keeper recognizes a drawing fast, so winning depends on economical strokes rather than artistic ability, which is what separates it from other drawing-based titles in the service.

Draw it+ has players draw pictures matching a prompt within a time limit and compete with opponents on how many they get right. Prompts range from "leaf" and "cloud" to "blackberry" and "water slide." A judging AI called the Keeper calls the drawing in real time, stroke by stroke. Coins earned in matches unlock prompts. Apple Arcade is 900 yen per month including tax.
Draw it+ puts speed above all else. Players draw to a prompt inside a time limit, and the Keeper, the judging AI, calls the drawing as each stroke lands, offering guesses like "Could this be XX?" even mid-line. A prompt such as "mustache" asks for a shape anyone would recognize, and a line drawn in few strokes costs less time.
One session runs about 1 minute, so it fits short breaks, and the game is aimed at people who do not usually draw. Matches also pay out coins that unlock prompts players have not seen yet.
