Community Insight:
We like this game but somehow, the game kept glitching and now it wont let us in anymore. Can you fix it please.
Decent game, though when we reinstalled it last time, we lost all our progress.
Doodle god more like doodle add.
We love(d) the game but every time we go to the next level so please fix this it would better for the game :for developer.
The game is amazing and fun to play, but theres way too many ads and levels of which can get a little frustrating because its about every 10 seconds.
Ive been having a lot of fun with this game, we have 433/456 of the elements so far. We also like the puzzles and challenges, we havent done many of them but we like the addition. We also like how the main game shows you what can actually be matched instead of having to do trial and error with no luck like some other games like this ive played. Our only gripe with the game is the leveling system. The more you level up the more points it takes to level up but you also get significantly more points for each match up and once you level up it takes you out of the merging station we guess ill call it and you have to click the play button again and click the circles you were just at again. You also get an ad every time you level up, and you level up like once every 30 seconds give or take and it gets really annoying for our gameplay to be disrupted so often. Im fine with getting more points over time we just wish it wasnt so drastic to the point where it takes basically the same amount of time to get to level 2 as it does level 100. Leveling up should feel rewarding not something thats just there to give you an ad and some coins/paint rollers that arent even that important to the main game. They also just added ads to the puzzles quests.
We love this game Im trying to make humanity but ads keep ruining this game so 4 stars.
Downloaded for nostalgic purposes and got bombarded by ads even after purchasing the no ads option. Its not worth it anymore.
Theres a couple ads here and there, but other from that it is an amazing game.
This app is nostalgic and the gameplay is great. It would be perfect actually if there wasnt an ad literally every 30seconds. We actually timed it once. Its ridiculous. Ruined what could have kept us going for hours. They are the same ads repeating as well. We understand you want to profit, but this is excessive. :(.
Fun game too many ads please fix.
Its a pretty fun game, but the adds run every 60 seconds. Even tho the ads itself are short, how often they pop up is way too often. Makes the game unbearable to play. Removing ads costs $20 which is way too expensive in our opinion.
We remember playing this game way back in middle school10+ yrs later and they made it to have ads..this is such a bummer and a shame they do this..no wonder people dont play games on the phone anymorewhat a way to lose consumers.
Beautiful idea, excellent incorporation of the ideas. Too much advertisement for each twenty second interval give or take. Option to buy would be better then the need to host for business success.
We've been playing this game off & on since like middle school, so we've seen bits of it's evolution. So far with our most recent download, we think it's alright with how it balances ads though we have experienced feeling like we only made a few combinations before being given another ad. We're probably going to spend the $5-6 to get rid of the ads, we still love this game.
428 elements 25245 combinations. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack now. We don't want to combine every fire item just to find out it makes ash. Remove the redundant reactions and you will have a good game again. Also you removed most of the story from the original. For instance: the magic world is now merged with the modern world. Bad decision. The whole point was it reduced the amount you have to search, and could focus the creation aspect.
We absolutely love this app it is definitely for all ages its a great app for kids and adults. We think this app is good for people who get bored easily. Overall this is a great app.
Idk if its our device or the game but Ill open the game, play it for a few mins then itll close. Sometimes itll be in our windows and sometimes it just completely closes and we need to re-open it. Ill look more on our end maybe restate our phone but just incase it is the app thought Id let yall know so it can get fixed.
Fun game, no complaints about it except its constantly crashing.
It bugs a lot for example when we get something wrong and if we do it too much then the hints doesnt work.
To be honest the game used to be fun you could watch a ad if you needed hints but now theres tons of forced ads during the gameplay like most games nowadays but the game itself is amazing just like when we played it awhile ago. So if any of the creators are reading this remove forced ads please.
This game is so good. It keeps us entertained. And we love seeing what we can make. Definitely recommend.
We love the aspect of the game and the creativity you can use in it is almost unlimited. There is one major problem though,randomly we were just playing the game and it sent us to the Home Screen so we just got back into the game thinking nothing about it and we pressed play and back we were to the Home Screen. Now we just cant play normal mode and Im stuck with the other ones.
Really enjoyed this game. Took about three or four days to complete. We bought the 99 cent version. Id say it was worth it.
Is so fun we cant stop playing it we have not sleep in several weeks and Im so tired of not playing this game.
Blast from the past, but better.
Us and our bf decided to play this together and after everytime we both got a new one they put us straight to ads so we would get upset of a series of too many times. Over all we enjoyed the game just wished there was less ads.
We found this game and had so much fun but later Im all ways bored because we cant stand a ad after every match or when our glow is low we have to wait and to get infinite glow its one hundred bucks and once you have it after every match an ad pops up we would love if there was less ads then Id give it a 5 star rating.
Ive completed the first episode of elements and made every element required for the rewards in the episode but the game is still acting like we havent created them and it wont give us our rewards.
The game is fine but it has this error that occurs where after closing the app, when opening it is attempted it just closes back out. The error even persists after restarting. That lost all the saves.
We played this game alot and decided to redownload after a couple years. It let us play a couple rounds, thrn when we tried to go to the main game it would play a ad, take us back to the main screen, then play an ad and do the same thing over and over never allowing us to actually get back into the game to play.
Ok so this is our 2nd day playing this app and we have gotten SO MANY ADS today!! The only reason we didnt get as many yesterday is because we had no internet and so the ads didnt play, but the game worked just fine. So the ads are a major issue when you have decent internet. Anyway, another issue is sometimes after you make and element, it sends you back to the globe which is SO ANNOYING. It gets us out of our flow and ruins our desire to make more elements. Other than these issues this game is a pretty good game.
Also, some of the achievements wont unlock properly.
After one element comes another add.
The amount of ads in this are absolutely insane.
We have been playing again, and we have more time in ads than we do in the actual game. We feel that there are to many ads to enjoy the game.
We remember when we first downloaded this game, it was great being creative to find combinations so we down loaded it again but THIS GAME NOW!!! These ads are mind numbing, and its not the ads themselves its the amount of ads and the frequency. We dont know how much longer we will play this before it goes away for good and we will just have the memories.
Too many ads, so paid to get rid of them. Still didnt like the game but now its charging us still and we dont even have the game and thought it was supposed to be a one time purchase. Definitely not.
We cant believe how many ads you have to go through while playing this now, we used to play this years ago and had so much fun with it and got it again to just try it out. We deleted this game not even 10 minutes after downloading it because we had at least 12 ads come up, it was astronomical. Its a good game, but come on.
We think we spend more time waiting for the x to finally show up on ads than we do actually playing. Im so disappointed, we loved this game a few years back and now its practically unplayable. We dont mind ads- when theyre reasonable. This is not reasonable. Its just obnoxious, and then theres the element creation limit on top of that. Ruined game.
Dont download this game if your intentions are to play the game you once loved as a child. Every five or so clicks of any element and boom another ad pops up. Sick of it, we wish they would cut this out and leave the player to enjoy the game. If this were done then the game would be 5/5 no doubt.
We use to love this game. Would play it for hours on our ipod touch. But it is almost unplayable now. We spend more time looking at the map and watching ads than playing the actual game. So sad.
Bought the paid version because we used to love this game when we were younger and the ads are now ridiculous. Even after buying the paid version, you can only match a hand full of elements before you have to wait an hour or watch and ad to get ONE extra match. If you want a true ad free experience it looks like you need to pay another $10 and who knows how long that lasts until your stuck watching more ads. Insane.
Whenever you even try to back out of a level, or every time you mix an element, you get an ad. The game is quite literally unplayable. The game is completely dead and ruined because of this.
The amount of ads in this game is ridiculous. An ad plays every time you make a combination.
Annoying ads. Deleted after only a few minutes of try to enjoying a game that used to be relaxing before.
A once great fun little game completely ruined by ads. Dont waste your time. This is basically unplayable now.
We paid the 99 cents the app prompted us to so that we wouldnt have to deal with ads, but today we started getting an ad after every reaction! Thats theft.
Great game! To be honest, we only wanted to write this review just to get a trophy. Thank you.
So its a really good game but why is there not a no ad setting or vip that blocks ads cuz always having ads 5-10 turns is annoying. Also why did u have to make 20 different versions just make one like one doodle god and one doodle devil! Thanks for reading have a great day.
