Skwiz is a play on the term exquisite corpse (“ik-Skwiz-it”). It’s the mobile drawing game where multiple people create one drawing without knowledge of what the others have contributed - until the end. It is the digital version of the surrealist drawing game “Exquisite Corpse,” in which players fold up a piece of paper, and pass it around so that each collaborator can only see the section they are drawing.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skwiz at none against Resprite's 5. Skwiz also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Resprite's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 7). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Skwiz holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Resprite has 1.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Skwiz's written reviews are positive against 80% of Resprite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Skwiz ships an update every 4 days, Resprite every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
