  • story
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in Doodle God revolves around the player's quest to create the earth, life, and space through various quests and puzzles, providing a sense of purpose and accomplishment. While the main story is engaging, some players find the additional quests to be bloated and counter-intuitive, with mixed opinions on their relevance and challenge. Overall, the game offers a nostalgic experience with improved graphics and a variety of objectives, though it may leave players wanting more depth in the narrative.

    • “Doodle God is an engaging point-and-click simulator, where you play as God in the quest to create the earth, life, and space.”
    • “Aside from the main game, there are various puzzles to figure out a specific element's creation, and quests concerning a tale or an objective - like surviving a deserted island or rescuing the princess from the dragon through our element combination powers.”
    • “Additionally, the game includes several modes and quests that add layers of objectives and challenges, keeping the gameplay varied.”
    • “The quests range from pointless to torturous and the puzzles crash the game.”
    • “It is a really neat addition, but some of the quests are extremely bloated and counter-intuitive.”
    • “Once I completed the main story, I just grinded out the achievements.”
  • gameplay
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Doodle God" is centered around simple and intuitive mechanics that involve combining elements to create new substances, which can be engaging and spark creativity. However, it suffers from repetitiveness and some nonsensical combinations that may frustrate players, leading to a lack of replayability. While it offers a laid-back experience suitable for casual play, many reviewers suggest it feels more appropriate as a free mobile game rather than a paid title.

    • “Nevertheless, Doodle God’s core mechanics and imaginative concept make it an engaging journey for creative minds.”
    • “The core gameplay revolves around combining these elements to form new substances, leading to increasingly complex creations ranging from simple organic matter to intricate technological artifacts.”
    • “This keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging, sparking curiosity about the next combination.”
    • “There really isn't much gameplay except clicking here and there.”
    • “The gameplay is a repetitive match element till you get the right thing and the solutions for some puzzles can sometimes be quite nonsensical.”
    • “After the nostalgia and the excitement of creating the first few elements wears off, the rest of the gameplay becomes a chore.”
  • monetization
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has been a contentious topic among players, with initial concerns over microtransactions and an energy system that limited gameplay. However, recent updates have removed these features, allowing for unlimited hints and a more enjoyable experience without ads. While some players still find the presence of microtransactions annoying, many agree they are not necessary for gameplay and do not detract significantly from the overall value of the game.

    • “Well, I am happy to declare that Joy Bits heard their fans' voices and removed both the energy system and all microtransactions.”
    • “First of all, it's meaningless to care about microtransactions when they're not at all necessary to use.”
    • “And the game does not push the microtransactions at you.”
    • “There was an inbuilt energy system which would prevent you from playing endlessly, and hints concerning possible combinations would be bought through microtransactions.”
    • “This game has microtransactions and they will attempt to bleed you dry!”
    • “It's a nice game, terrible practices when it comes to microtransactions, at the very least I'm glad people are not withstanding this kind of behavior coming from any developer, but even then, I guess it's kinda sad, it's not a necessity to buy them, and they never really are screaming at your face in order for you to buy them, but they're still present, and are certainly annoying.”
  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their appealing and well-made visuals, enhancing the experience of world development and puzzle-solving. However, some users noted issues with pixelation in fullscreen mode and limited graphical options. Overall, while the art style is considered charming and engaging, there are mixed feelings about the game's overall development quality.

    • “The graphics are great, the idea is fantastic, but the overall game is poorly developed and seems like something the game maker developed on the trip to the grocery store.”
    • “I want to mention that the visuals in the game are well done.”
    • “The graphics have been majorly overhauled for its Steam release and it works like a charm. Play it if you love puzzles as it has plenty of them.”
    • “The graphics have very few options to change, and for one reason, if I play fullscreen, the game is all pixelated and weird.”
    • “You're paying $15 for the cartoony graphics.”
    • “The game is characterized by its minimalist graphics and intuitive interface, which make it easy to play but challenging to master.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as calming and atmospheric, enhancing the overall experience with a meditative quality that complements the gameplay. While many players appreciate the soundtrack, some note that it may become repetitive over time, and there are limited options for volume control. Overall, the music serves as a pleasant backdrop, though it may not appeal to everyone in the long run.

    • “Fun element matching game with a calming soundtrack and multiple mini-game side modes themed around different scenarios.”
    • “This is a very fun and challenging brain teaser with a very calming (almost meditation style) soundtrack as a nice bonus.”
    • “I love this musical piece and I would like to hear other equally peace-generating atmospheric music.”
    • “You don't have much control over the volume of the music.”
    • “Music is decent but will probably get annoying after a while; there is a pretty good narration in the story side of things.”
    • “Music is decent but will probably get annoying after a while; there is a pretty good narration in the story side of things.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players enjoying the amusing comments and quotes that accompany item combinations and discoveries. Many find the game not only fun to play but also addictive due to its humorous interactions. Overall, the comedic elements significantly enhance the gaming experience.

    • “Great game, it's a lot of fun to mess around with, and the comments are really funny when you combine some things.”
    • “Whenever you discover a new element, you get a funny quote about it.”
    • “And it's also addictive to combine items, and sometimes it's funny too.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly when it comes to completing achievements that require collecting all reactions. The lack of clarity on which items are no longer needed adds to the frustration, making the process feel unnecessarily prolonged and challenging.

    • “The achievement where I have to get all reactions was tedious.”
    • “And it doesn't show which items don't need to be used anymore, and that causes most grinding.”
    • “The 'God of Patience' is the most tedious achievement I've encountered.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it challenging and engaging enough to warrant multiple playthroughs due to its complex mechanics and innovative puzzles, others feel it lacks replay value and is better suited as a simple mobile or flash game.

    • “This is a very fun and challenging brain teaser with a calming (almost meditation style) soundtrack as a nice bonus. It is quite difficult and replayable, whether or not you use hints. Some elements can take a while to find and require deep thinking and innovation. Not to mention, there are focused episodes, challenges, and artifacts (such as virtues vs. sins, escaping an island) or creating a plethora of Christmas presents for a multitude of characters. It's also a nice challenge that not every combination will yield something new, so you have to use your thinking cap and experiment with different combinations and categories/elements.”
    • “No replayability, simple mechanics, works better as a free mobile/flash game.”
    • “The replay value for the game is low.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to performance issues that detract from the overall experience.

    • “The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering.”
    • “Despite its potential, the optimization is lacking, making it difficult to enjoy the gameplay experience.”
    • “I was disappointed with the optimization; it feels like the game wasn't properly tested on various hardware.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes reported by users, often occurring within a short playtime. Additionally, certain achievements, like the "god of patience," are also plagued by bugs, further detracting from the overall experience.

    • “The unfortunate part is that this game is very buggy and has crashed on me more times than I can count in the less than 45 minutes that I've tried to play it.”
    • “I hate how the game crashes so much, and the 'God of Patience' achievement gives you no help at all by not listing how many reactions you have done so far and is buggy as well.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised for its calming and peaceful musical score, which enhances the overall experience and creates a serene environment for players.

    • “I love this musical piece and I would like to hear other equally peaceful atmosphere music.”
