Fun game but doesn’t work well

My biggest problem with this app is I have done the free stuff like sign up for random things and they don’t give you the mana like they say. There are also no xs on the screen so it seems like you can’t get out of that page after. Also it shows the same things for when you use the hint to shoe the final product. I feel like I waste them when they show ones I’ve already seen. It showed me ghost like five times instead of anything else, I couldn’t figure out ghost so I was completely stuck. Even though it’s a paid version you still have to see some ads from them which I find rude since we paid. Either way either don’t get this game or get it but don’t take it seriously or you’ll get frustrated at it when it doesn’t work like it says it will

Where did it all go wrong?

This game used to be so fun. You would be able to quickly discover new elements and progress further into the game. Now, every time you find a new element, you have to watch the globe spin and zoom in then show the element pop up..... it wastes so much time and I honestly do not care for it. Especially at the beginning when anything you do makes a new element. I used to be able to get really far in like 10 minutes from the start and now 10 minutes from the start you’ll spend 7 minutes watching the pointless cut scene of the globe and 3 minutes actually playing the game. It feels more like an interactive cut scene than a game with cut scenes. It’s almost unbearable. If there was an option to stop the cut scenes or just get the game how it was when it first came out, I would do that. I would pay $10 for the original game I played as a kid over paying $0.99 for whatever this “game” is. I’m truly disappointed. I thought I’d play something nostalgic, but instead it’s like I’m playing a game where someone tried to copy the perfectly fine original but screwed it up terribly.

Bogged down with adverts and pay-to-play

I used to have a great time playing this game a few years back. I thought I’d give it another spin in 2018, and I was disappointed to find out the devs have added a truly staggering amount of advertisements. One or two on startup isn’t a big deal, especially for a free game. But now, they have a ton of ads in the middle of the game. To make matters worse, they’ve also limited the number of reactions you can make without watching an ad. If you are ok with only playing for a couple minutes, and don’t mind watching ads every 30 seconds, then this game is probably fine for you.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Bought the bundle, and there are in app purchases in every doodle game. Don’t charge for a game and then expect people to spend more to progress. Ended up just googling like 30 of the elements. I miss the old doodle god, they struck good and then filled the mine back up until they got to the surface and were just digging dirt again. Just release the old game for like 5 bucks and you’ll make more money than you did with this garbage. If it ain’t broke don’t shove it full of adverts and act like it’s an improvement. I don’t mind the cutscenes since you can skip them, it’s actually kind of fun to see, but all in all, I’m just sad that I can’t play the doodle god I really loved as a kid.

Changes ruined it

This used to be one of my favorite games to just download and kill some time with, even after I beat it, trying to remember all the combos after a while was still fun. At some point they added a lot of extra stuff that just gets in the way. Most combinations require you to look at a pointless little cutscene. Then you have to do little puzzles to advance in the game and the puzzles are seemingly designed to make you spend money on hints. This used to be a fun little game, but everything they’ve added to it is just plain bad.

To many changes.

When I was in middle school I was given an iPod touch 2nd generation when that was new. I bought this game and liked it. Time passes and I got into an accident where the iPod went missing. U just remember this game many years later and was excited to download it. I opened it up and saw many changes. Many that were obnoxious. I hate having ads in a game I paid for. I hate having that earth pop up every time I find a new item. This game has too many changes from where it was simpler back then. Please give us more options in the settings. I see the disable ads option but it does nothing.

Good, but stops working

I like to play doodle guard when I’m bored. But, it does have its fair share of downsides. First off, there is not many questions to do in the game once you get past technology or world of magic, you like to do the quests in the game. Also, right after doodle God gave me a notification of allowing to useMy location, for some reason the app just won’t load. It’s like whenever I go into the game the game won’t start there’s no welcome screen there’s nothing it’s just a black screen with blue floating dots. This happened twice when I download it the second time.

Used to be great, now seems abandoned.

Always loved this game! However, it seems they aren't going to be updating this to iOS 13 (iOS 13 has been out since early Sep. 2019, 10 months) and I'd likely assume that means they won't be updating it every again. (Must not be making them money anymore?) The app no longer functions, after the splash screen it simply loads a black screen with floating, faded orbs hovering around the screen and the game itself never loads. If you can manage to get it to work then congrats you've got a great game to play and enjoy it while it lasts!
