Doodle Game is a browser-based arcade game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. Think drawing & art — that is the shape of it. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Doodle Game
On smartphone or i-Phone: drag your finger left or right depending on where you want to go. On pc: drag your finger left or right depending on where you want to go or press right arrow and left arrow.
How to play Doodle Game
Nothing here needs explaining twice. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse / trackpad | Draw and colour |
| Left click | Pick a tool or colour |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The reason Doodle Game holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — drawing & art — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
