Doodle God Review (iPhone)



Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), 172 days ago

Doodle God is neither about doodling, nor about being god... Well, alright, it is sort of about being god. In Doodle God from Avaloid, you are tasked with creating stuff. What kinds of stuff? All sorts stuff, and yes, life and humans are included in that stuff. However, once you’ve got that, you’re already well on your way.

You create things by combining elements. You start with four and from there can make 140 elements in 15 groups. Really it’s an experiment in thought. The fun is thinking "I wonder if A will combine with B and make C." Often, it doesn’t which gets frustrtating. But when you make something unexpected it’s brilliant. I jokingly took a human and combined with another human, much to my surprise, I discovered Sex. I have actually been playing this game for some time and I just get so engrossed that I forget to write the review.

It’s not that the game is action-packed, like I said it more of an experiment in thought and experimentation. It’s challenging and frustrating at the same time, but still enjoyable. If you get stuck there’s some help and you can always check the list of what you’ve created to perhaps give you some inspiration on other combinations.

Not all combinations are logical, or rather, realistic. There are some mythical creatures to be made like Thunderbirds, Phoenixes and dragons. So sometimes, think outside the box. You could of course just methodically try all combinations, but that gets boring quick and takes the fun out of the game sometimes.

The http://gamersdailynews.com/images/awards/GDN_Silver_Award_LORES.gifgame features a nice hand drawn art style (hence the doodle name) as well as a nice mystical sounding music that helps you remain calm while playing.

Overall, Doodle God is a unique twist on the god/creation genre. It does a good job of making use of the interface for the phone as well as giving you something to think about. You might find yourself pondering the mysteries of life, especially when you create something and get an unexpected result. But it will certainly keep you entertained for sometime.

Some hints below for you to get started.
