What Makes Doodle Mafia Stand Out
Crime Does Pay!
Play as a Gangster or Cop.
Over 500 Puzzles to Solve & Items to Create
WATCH YOUR CRIME CITY COME ALIVE AS YOU PLAY!
Doodle Mafia is the biggest “Doodle” game ever! Over 500 puzzles to solve and items to create as you play the role of Crime Boss or Cop. You decide how you want to play as you play through multiple hard-nosed storylines & play modes.
As you build your Gang and make your fortune you must evade the Cops as well as fight off rival games in order to become the “Big Boss” of the City. In the “City” mode watch your Crime City come alive as you successfully pull off heists, escape the Cops or beat-off rival gangs. But you gotta watch your back because behind every corner there is a good Cop trying to make a name for himself or a rival Gangster trying to take your turf!
In the “Campaign” mode, nab the bad guys or pull off heists to build your fortune. Can you successfully rob the bank and escape the Cops? Are you tough enough to defeat the rival boss and be the Crime Big Boss of the City? We shall see how good you are….
Remember Crime Does Pay!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive played both Doodle God and Doodle Devil, and this is by far our favorite so far. Especially notable is the introduction of actions (verb) as element type to be applied to objects (noun), such as Explore + Gas Stand to visit the gas stand and find more elements. This allows for addition of campaign mode, serving as story telling tool and adding puzzle solving to the formula. Our only complaint is that when you select a combination that leads to failing a mission in the campaign mode, you are not able to read the flavor text explaining why the fail happened as they immediately get covered by a large text box prompting you to exit and try again. Please solve this by moving the text box, or allowing us to dismiss it to read the text underneath.
We love this game the most out of all the Doodle games. We don't even know why.
We want more episodes getting to higher crimes like political corruption and taking on the mafia . By the way does this mean that we will never see doodle tank be updated.
We think it's really entertaining.
So far an enjoyable and nuanced next installment in the Doodle series.
Great game! Creative and challenging.
Pretty killer. We loved Doodle god and liking this so far too. Worth it.
Doodle's games usually display a witty quote attributed to a historical character when you create a match. It seems like they outsourced this game though, because some of the "quotes" are very poorly worded English. Other than that it is the usual entertaining game play.
