Not fun. Too much menu navigation and watching animations play out. An alchemy game doesn't need to be fancy with visuals, I just want to combine stuff as quickly as possible. Only around 250 combinations; not very impressive. Spent too long doing graphics and GUI instead of creating gameplay depth and content.

Played with playpass it's bearable (no adverts), but you still have all the distracting cutscenes. And it's very frustrating that when you "finish" a level you can no longer use hints to help find the remaining combinations.

Like others have said, the constant return to the overworld makes this game as tedious as possible, and that saying something for a game that's just combining items until something works. They tried to spice up gameplay, but they made the whole experience worse. Don't try this, just skip it, find something else.

Even free it isn't worth playing I played one of their earlier games and actually enjoyed it. Had a blast of nostalgia a while ago and the intrusive ads made me delete it quick. I now have game pass and this game being free STILL isn't worth the annoyance of trying to combine objects. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GOTO THE MAIN LIST AFTER EVERY STINKING MATCH? With 30 different categories I get lost on what I've already done. Even with unlimited hints to give me two categories a match this gameJustNo fun.

Why I buy an app I don't want a bunch of ads and for it to randomly uninstall and not let me reinstall Uodate: let me reinsall but now it restarted me completely! What's the point of spending money on a game if its not going to save your progress. I used to play this on my computer a long time ago and it's sad how the quality of the game has gotten worse not better.

Seemed alright at first, but quickly got awful. Paid app with regular (no warning) ads? Blech. Purchasable hints that don't even work right (no game, there isn't a reaction left in that category, I've literally tried every element there with every other one 3 times) ugh. Frankly, the old flash version was better and free, so save your money and play that.

Literally the exact same game Doodle God has always been, just with added visual splendor that is completely skippable. You only get zoomed to overworld when you discover an element that can be shown on the globe, but to go back to mixing you only have to press one button. These other comments are super dramatic, as an OG fan I'm very happy I picked this up.

It's an okay game. Gets boring after a while, which is why I don't keep it installed for long, therefore having to start all over everytime. Now we can save? Bout time. Oh, and for the people bitching about paying for the full game and still having ads: Yinz do know you can disable the ads from the options menu once you've paid for the full game, right? Dumbasses. But the devs really should make that known when someone purchases the full game, as well.

There is the option to turn ads off. It's the same old game that I remember. None of that timegated bs. Being able to play as much as I want in one sitting and progress a lot sometimes and a little other times is worth $1.49 to me for this game. It's really fun time to go through the hoops to imagine more elements and match everything.

The game play and graphics are nice. Like that there are different categories including puzzles and mini stories. Only gripe is that there needs to be a feature where you can choose to not make combinations that you've already done. With so many combinations possibility it's hard to keep track of the ones I've already tried that were a success.

The original web game was a very comfy and well put combination game. The expansions aren't as good and feel very random in their combinations. This mobile port has you backing in and out of menus way too much to make it enjoyable. It also locks key features like not repeating combinations and hints behind a paywall. This is really a testament of awful and money grubbing modern mobile gaming. The play pass is where subpar games paywalled games go to die.

This game is just too goshdarned simple! I hate that there are less than 12 steps involved in advancing the game by just one step. They took a step in the right direction when they sucked all the charm out of this simple, effortless game and obstructed all parts with popups and dailies and spins and menus, but they just didn't go far enough! Nobody plays mobile games for a couple minutes waiting for the bus stop or killing time. EVERYBODY wants MORE games that are full-day affairs. Trust me!

I played this game for the first time over ten years ago back when it was a browser game. Now, it's a game that holds its hand out at every opportunity and charges you for hints. Additionally, if you mix two of the same element and form something new, then forget and do the action again the game will charge you to stop it from replaying the animation again to save you time. This game is a joke and a microtransaction factory. Don't waste your time and definitely don't waste your money.

Tha game is fun as always. However, the fact that each time you discover something that has an icon on the map intrerupts the game is off-putting. There should be a way to turn that off. Also even if it says I finished the game, one artifact is still locked. The episodes don't end when all the possible items in an it are discovered, but only a number so, i can't even use clues to find that one item I am missing to create the last artifact.

So yeah exactly what all the other reviews say about it returning to the map or main element screen after every combination. An absolutely horrid design that makes the game a pain to play. On the Play Pass version I'm not seeing the ads mentioned, save for a few annoying connect with Facebook popups but one can tell the ge was designed around that model. A very poor imitation of one of the first classic mobile games.

This is THE worst version of combining elements/alchemy games I've ever played. Other reviews said you had to go back out to the menu after every element combination and I decided to try anyway, and I highly recommend NOT trying it anyway. It's so clunky like this, just let us throw a bunch of stuff at other stuff and then go back out and add it to the visuals all at once. This way is wildly tedious.

Just wow... the cut scenes attached are horrible. You can't make anything without some over the top cutscene. Trust me this is a extremely limited game of combinations. You combine anything (even if you've made it before) and get a cutscene that takes you to the main selection again. You can play almost any alchemy game and it will be better than this. This is just some flashy gimmick that I regret to have paid for.

What the bloody hell... I loved the classic Doodle God. Can I please just play without going back to a mission screen with every new element created? :/ Alright... it's not "every" element. But it's often. It breaks my streak of breakthroughs. I realize it's a new direction, that's cool, but there should be some classic mode. I like the new elements added btw. It's sad seeing the reviews.... when I said "back in the day" I meant like 2011/2012 or so. It was perfect then. -6/21/2022

When I purchase an app, I don't expect to get bombarded by ads or in-app purchases. However, that's what I get with this game; the end result is frustrating and disappointing. Though the gameplay itself is fun and the visuals are good, the irritating advertisements and notifications to connect with Facebook are way too annoying and ridiculous for an app for which I paid money. Frankly, it feels insulting. Look for free alternatives on this one and save yourself the headache.

Wow this used to be a fun game. But they took the wind out of the fun parts of gameplay. Every time you discover a new element, it zooms you back out to the overworld menu, forcing you to navigate menus to get back to combining. What the heck? Going down the line, comparing every element with water, then the next, and the next is how you play this game! And you make us find our way back after each success? You punish successes by hiding the worktable and interrupting the creative process. Absurd
