The original web game was a very comfy and well put combination game. The expansions aren't as good and feel very random in their combinations. This mobile port has you backing in and out of menus way too much to make it enjoyable. It also locks key features like not repeating combinations and hints behind a paywall. This is really a testament of awful and money grubbing modern mobile gaming. The play pass is where subpar games paywalled games go to die.
Reviews for Doodle God™
← Back to Doodle God™I would say this is a decent game, but I'm not going to do that. Getting a little frustrated by some religious countermeasure BS and almost everything doesn't really combine and guessing is equally as annoying because you have some dumbass voice coming up with "come on creator, create something". What the hell do you think I'm trying to do? Not my fault everything doesn't connect. I have two different apps that I haven't been on for months that are better than this, and easier to combine things.
There is the option to turn ads off. It's the same old game that I remember. None of that timegated bs. Being able to play as much as I want in one sitting and progress a lot sometimes and a little other times is worth $1.49 to me for this game. It's really fun time to go through the hoops to imagine more elements and match everything.
I used to love this game but I do not like that I can only create one element at a time and have to go back to the world menu and click play to create another one. I shouldn't have to keep hitting play over and over I should just get to play the game. This seems like uneccessary extra steps. Very disappointed and uninstalled.
Fun game, simple concept, addicting! ♥️
I played this game for the first time over ten years ago back when it was a browser game. Now, it's a game that holds its hand out at every opportunity and charges you for hints. Additionally, if you mix two of the same element and form something new, then forget and do the action again the game will charge you to stop it from replaying the animation again to save you time. This game is a joke and a microtransaction factory. Don't waste your time and definitely don't waste your money.
Tha game is fun as always. However, the fact that each time you discover something that has an icon on the map intrerupts the game is off-putting. There should be a way to turn that off. Also even if it says I finished the game, one artifact is still locked. The episodes don't end when all the possible items in an it are discovered, but only a number so, i can't even use clues to find that one item I am missing to create the last artifact.
plays like how I remember. with a bit added to it like quests and the graphics. getting used to it, and I like it so far
I've always loved playing this game growing up and playing it again is bringing back so many good memories.
could probably function as a toddler's game.... was expecting to doodle or have some level of control but seems like the bulk of the game is just guessing and mixing 2 elements
I spent 20 minutes randomly combining elements to try and create a new element. that seems to be 90% of the game. Not great.
great cartoon version of an older concept (alch...) with fun humour and animations. good time killer and truly an enjoyable game with a multitude of quests and stories.
Seemed alright at first, but quickly got awful. Paid app with regular (no warning) ads? Blech. Purchasable hints that don't even work right (no game, there isn't a reaction left in that category, I've literally tried every element there with every other one 3 times) ugh. Frankly, the old flash version was better and free, so save your money and play that.
Like others have said, the constant return to the overworld makes this game as tedious as possible, and that saying something for a game that's just combining items until something works. They tried to spice up gameplay, but they made the whole experience worse. Don't try this, just skip it, find something else.
I played a normal version of Doodle God a long time ago and loved it. This version is just infuriating to play for a few minutes. from constantly getting yanked to the earth scene and the needless cut scenes this is just not worth it to even try to play. I uninstalled after about three minutes. (downloaded from play pass. I can't imagine suffering through ad's as well.)
This is THE worst version of combining elements/alchemy games I've ever played. Other reviews said you had to go back out to the menu after every element combination and I decided to try anyway, and I highly recommend NOT trying it anyway. It's so clunky like this, just let us throw a bunch of stuff at other stuff and then go back out and add it to the visuals all at once. This way is wildly tedious.
Like many, I have fond memories of playing this game over a decade ago. unfortunately, whatever clowns took over from the original devs have absolutely ruined this game. No one, and I do mean NO ONE, wants to have gameplay interrupted every 5 seconds by an unskippable cutscenes that dumps you onto a different screen, forcing you to navigate back into the core gameplay screen. Literally just add an option to turn off quests and cutscenes, that's all we want.
When I was younger I loved this game, buying it a few weeks ago I can no longer say the same thing. Over the years the game has slowly turned more money hungry, starting as a free game with in game purchases, to a paid app with ads, in game purchases, and clunky in game additions. If it was still free I'd give the game a pass, but really?? Even after paying for a mix and match game I still have to watch ads and pay for additional content?
When I purchase an app, I don't expect to get bombarded by ads or in-app purchases. However, that's what I get with this game; the end result is frustrating and disappointing. Though the gameplay itself is fun and the visuals are good, the irritating advertisements and notifications to connect with Facebook are way too annoying and ridiculous for an app for which I paid money. Frankly, it feels insulting. Look for free alternatives on this one and save yourself the headache.
Just wow... the cut scenes attached are horrible. You can't make anything without some over the top cutscene. Trust me this is a extremely limited game of combinations. You combine anything (even if you've made it before) and get a cutscene that takes you to the main selection again. You can play almost any alchemy game and it will be better than this. This is just some flashy gimmick that I regret to have paid for.
