Gameplay

Acting as the Doodle God, the player must combine available elements together to gain access to new elements. Combinations can be both physical (such as combining Water and Lava to obtain Steam and Stone) and metaphorical (such as combining Water and Fire to obtain Alcohol). The game begins with only the four classical elements (fire, water, air and earth), and centers on the discovery of 249 elements across 26 categories. Should the player be stuck, a hint is available every few minutes.

Reception

Doodle God received the Weekly Users' Choice award on a web game portal Newgrounds. The game became a commercial success and has made it JoyBits' flagship series of games, having sequels and spin-offs such as Doodle Devil, Doodle Kingdom, Doodle Creatures, Doodle Tanks and Doodle Farm.
