Review of Doodle God for Windows 10: Imagination Meets Chemistry

It seems that the games for Windows 10 are getting better and better, and of course, more diverse. I remember when I got my Android smartphone, and one of the first games I installed on it was the elements game.

You know, the one where you have to create different elements from the four basic elements: air, water, earth, and fire.

Doodle God is something similar to that game but with better graphics. The basic principle of the game is the same: combine the four elements to create new ones and then combine those to create others, and so on, you get the idea.

The game has a free and paid version, but I’d recommend playing the free version first, to get an idea about the game.

Doodle God – First impressions and game experience

After installing the game, I quickly hopped in the saddle and started playing. Although it looks like an oversized phone game, it retains the image quality and flowing animations we are used to from other games.

When entering the game for the first time, you get a quick story about the creation of the elements, and then you arrive at the start screen, which looks very appealing.

When first starting the game, you get only the four basic elements, but once you start combining them, they quickly grow and group into categories. You will notice that you have 15 categories in the game and a total of 135 elements (I’m still at the first stage, so there are still more to go).

After completing the first stage (you complete this stage when you’ve discovered 100 elements), you can advance to the next one, and the game progresses as before. I should warn you that even if the game seems easy at the start, you are in for a surprise once you’ve passed ~50 elements.

By then, numerous possible combinations will make your life pretty hard. Luckily you have the hint button ready to give you some hope. By clicking on it, it will show you two elements you can combine, but each element has sub-elements, and you still need to find the right one.

After playing for a few hours, I noticed that the game is no longer a relaxing pastime but a battle with your knowledge to find out what you can combine to advance.

This being said about the gaming experience, I will add that the game has pretty good graphics, the animations, although simple, look very crisp, and the overall game move very well.

I do, however, recommend that you play this game on a touchscreen device or at least with a mouse (the digital trackpad of the laptop is not a good solution).

Final thoughts

Here is a quick list of what I liked about the game:

• Very well-designed user interface
• Good graphics
• Possibility to share progress on Twitter and Facebook
• No ads, but only a dedicated page with other games from the developer
• Very responsive

I very much enjoyed this game, and if I were to recommend a game for someone who needed to pass the time, this one would come to mind quickly.

But know this: arm yourself with patience before going on a journey of discovery like this because you will often feel the urge to throw your device against a wall or through a window. But all things considered, I like the game and recommend it to everyone!
