While Angry Birds will no doubt add to its universal appeal when Angry Birds Space arrives on iPhones, iPads, and Android devices next week, there is a new hot game that is drawing even more attention.

Draw Something by OMGPOP is a Pictionary-like game designed for touchscreen smartphones and tablets. The two-player turn-based game is easy for most anyone to pick up and play, and is proving to be very addictive. After debuting in early February on Apple's iOS and Google's Android devices, Draw Something in less than six weeks has been downloaded more than 25 million times and has more than 10 million daily active users! That means you will always have somebody to play against whether it be your Facebook friends, email contacts or even random opponents. :O

Draw Something, for the time being, is only 99 cents to download, but there are free sample versions for iOS and Android devices if you want to check it out before spending any hard earned money. ;) There is also a playable web version made by OMGPOP called Draw My Thing. There are three levels of difficulty and each player takes a turn drawing an image around a given word. The other player has to guess what has been sketched, and guessing correctly means earning coins. The harder the difficulty, the more coins that are earned.

Just because Draw Something is so popular does not mean the game is perfect. The categorization of words to play is at times random, and some "easy" level words seemed tougher than the "hard" ones. There are also too many repeat words, and the game could benefit from offering more drawing colors from the beginning, as it takes too many coins to purchase them. As well as experiencing some crashes during game play, but developers are on that.

The game's New York-based developer OMGPOP can afford to make improvements. Dan Porter, CEO of OMGPOP, says the game is generating more than $100,000 in revenue each day. Plans are in the works for a TV show as well. The company's early success is astounding, even by Angry Birds standards. While Angry Birds, Instagram and other household name apps took several months to generate one million downloads, Draw Something cleared that number in just 10 days.

You can't draw up a better plan that that!
