Community Insight:
We like being able to make a game just from drawing a good drawing.
We have had this app for year and we never get bored playing it.
We love it so much and its so awesome and cool and we like it how whenever you die you dont have to restart the game you just have to go back to where you are and then youre happy and stuff and we dont know Im just happy hooray thank you so hhhjjjnmjjjjjjjjjjj im a winter girl.
This game is amazing because it has fast loading and you make your own games Im on for hours making,testing,and most importantly having fun we are 8 and if you are 4+you are good have fun.
Super cool and fun but sum times glitches.
We got the kit for Christmas and we got the app and its amazing. Whoever says there is bugs we havent had any so far. If we have any we will tell them and they will fix it. They are amazing and can get anything done.
We love the concept an idea of what you got here. Just wish there was a way to start with a blank page an create directly from the app just in case you dont have colors an paper available at the time of Playing.
We love this app ever since we started playing it we HAVE BEEN SO CREATIVE LATELY SO PLEASE WHO ANYONE WHO SEES THIS PLZ GET IT.
THIS GAME IS THE BEST! We LOVE IT.
This is an awesome app, we love to be creative and to draw, and we recommend this app for anyone who is the same.
Ive always want to make a video game and we love drawing this is perfect whoever made this game we love it and thank you.
We got this game for Christmas & Im only on page 4-we think, but we already LOVE this game.
We love this game so much games its very fun and never get to do create teams in other games but this one game its so fun.
It's a very great game. We could make the drawings perfectly, we really like this game. Our favorite part is that you can make whatever game you want. – Oscar, age 6.
We have been playing Doodlematic for about a month now with our 6 year old son. We have had so much fun building and playing the different types of games. Its really great for creative play, fine motor skills development, problem solving, etc. It teaches basic logic concepts that underpin the game which is a little like pre-coding. Again, very well thought through app and the sharing and playing other childrens game is a bonus. 5 stars all the way.

So in the video it showed that you can have the ground moving stuff but when we did it its just black do we need a box or something.
Although it is absolutely fun creating games it is not as fun playing other games that 1. Are unbeatable 2. Have glitches When they have glitches it is mostly because someone has a crumb on their paper. We would suggest making people beat their game before they share it because then some games wouldnt be as hard.
Downloaded app. Drew a picture per instructions but every time we try to upload it to play we get an error. Now we get an error even when opening app. Update: contacted by developer. Christmas Day volume resulted in outage. Has been working well since then. Our 9 year old is enjoying it a lot. Thanks.
We love the game and we also love playing others creations however theres a few things that we would like to be added. First of all we wish we can un edit items when we selected them. And we would like a eraser instead of the normal deleter. And some other tools need to be reworked to be more efficient. Also a suggestion we would like is for the gold disguise we would like it so it can change colors. Other then that we would like more options to change the actual game instead of turning off and on gravity. Maybe a hour of code like script so children can understand. But other than than that above decent.
We wish you could erase if you made a mistake.
We made our game and shared it. But it said that we needed to pay 10 DOLLARS TO SHARE IT BECAUSE since children sharing personal info is a problem. Pay this extra 10 dollars so that 1. We can get more money and 2. So they can share Information anyways LIKE IS MONEY THAT THEY GAVE TO YOU SUPPOSED TO REVERSE BRIBE THEM.
The game is fun, but we keep glitching out of the game and it takes us out! And, it takes sooo long for it to load our game. But overall, we think it is a very creative game.
We wish we could rate this game -5 stars. People of the world this game isnt fun or exciting it is really horrid.
Got the box for our son for his birthday. We are able to draw a game and play it but beyond that the experience is terrible. Every time we try to do anything it needs an email and verification. Beyond that we can play any games. You try to play a game someone created and all it does is sit on the loading screen. We have fast WiFi abs have tried multiple iPads including an iPad Pro. Often we Have to force quit the app. Then were back to the MAILBOX with the please approve message. At that point the Doodlematic system sends another email for consent so our email is getting flooded with them. Also we hated to see all the in app purchases when weve already paid for the box in store. It looks promising but the experience has been terrible.
Like you can sometimes get in but honestly we really dis like this game.
We mean, overall, its absolutely terrible, but there is one thing that is not a complete waste of time. Other peoples games are amazing, but they still have bugs. And creating your own game is a waste of time. We tried to make a game where you would have to get to the sink without touching a germ so people would understand whats going on right now, but they could still have fun. And it said that we needed to create a a blue goal for the game, an we colored it with 12 different shades of blue! Overall, nobody should ever get this app and its a waste of time, money and we wish it never came in to this world. To who ever reads this, dont get this app. Trust us.
We love this app it is so fun and great to use but it is a little hard to use. P.s do not get this app if you do not have the box and/or the QR code.
Great app!!! Dont get it unless you bought the box.
Great game creation for kids and adults. Martin, the creator behind this app, is very responsive to questions.
Took sometime to get this all working. Support was great.
Very responsive support. We get an email and phone call from Martin, the developer. Hes working on the issues we met. Gave us extra promo games. Very happy with responsive service. Looking forward to getting back to it with our kids! Initial review: We bought the game at NY Maker Faire Sept 2018 (yesterday). We just finished our first game and attempted to replay it with no luck. The game then crashed with an error message. We have emailed support. We got 10 minutes of game (most of it setup) for $20. Happy to amend review.
Although still in design stages, we are 100% behind this gaming idea. Keep up the good work.
We just get an error saying error entering promo code when we qr scan. Not sure if support request went thru. This is the only way we k ow do reach you. Thanks.
Update – Developer is very responsive and provided an excellent explanation of how the app counts the number of games. Im upping our rating to 4 stars and deducted one only because we think our kids will keep taking pictures without thought and will max out the 1000. Overall a great concept and they should have lots of fun. We can say that the demo game we tried worked flawlessly. We thought you were supposed to get two free games, but we were only able to create one. Now, we did add a booster to the one game, so maybe that now counts as two, we dont know. Anyway, we wanted to create another game so we deleted the one we had, and now we have zero games and cant create another one. So, its basically useless without purchasing additional games. You can imagine with kids how often they will delete and start over, so it wont be long before your app is useless without another purchase. Such a good idea, but a shame how it could cost more even after you purchase it. We purchased the BOX before we had tried the app, now we will probably return that when it comes. If Im wrong on this, we will be happy to change our review. Update – Im aware of the QR code that comes with the BOX. Our concern is that when we did the demo, we created a game and deleted it, then we were unable to create another one. If you are saying that the Paid version allows you to store 1000 games, then that would be fine. For example, if we created 1000 games and deleted 10, can we create 10 more? That isnt the case with the demo. In other words, are you counting games created, or games stored? Theres a big difference. Thanks for your reply.
Worked great the first time used. When we tried to add payment to be able to share, the app wont open. It crashes continuously and cannot be used.
SVCore::redirect line 34: attempt to redirect a nil value Svmain.lua:223.
Really enjoy the app and had everything we were looking for.
Saw this app previewed at a convention. Looks really cool, would love to use it with our students. However, we cant login to the app with google or create an educator account. We tried submitting a request through the website for help and kept getting an error message similar to the one that the app presents. Would love to be able to change our review.
