Doodle God, which launched in 2010 from JoyBits it was a puzzle game twist on the genre of world-building. Doodle God expanded into a series that includes titles like Doodle Devil, Doodle Mafia, Doodle Farm and more. On Friday, Doodle God Universe joined Apple Arcade's vast selection of games.
Doodle God Universe lets you mix different elements, starting with water, earth and fire. You can then construct new elements and other items by solving puzzles to create your own universe and help the life that exists there.

Doodle God Universe may feel familiar to players who have played previous games, however Paul who is a JoyBits brand ambassador, prefers to use his first name to describe this game. Doodle God Universe is a modern game with icons for elements, redrawn, 3D scenes, and more reactions. There are also changes to the game's difficulty and speed.
Paul shared his thoughts in an interview with CNET via email. The game is adapted to the rules and style of every player.
The Doodle God series is an A+B=C game, according to Paul. Games like Triple Town, 2048 and Little Alchemy have similar mechanics which require combining existing elements to create new ones. The official trailer for the game shows that combining birds and fire creates an eagle. Paul states that Doodle God's unique content and mini-games, along with its art and puzzles, set it apart from other versions and clones.
Apple's new hardware also helps the game, such as 5G and A14 Bionic chips.
Paul stated that "The power of the modern Apple products including iPhone, iPad and Mac, AppleTV -- along with a myriad of amazing technologies, including Metal -- all of which enabled us to implement all our most daring game design ideas and visual ideas."
Making up world-building games that are chaotic and imaginative games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Terraria and The Sims have supplied gamers with hours of entertainment for years. Like all games that build worlds, Paul says Doodle God Universe is about exploration and searching for the new and unexpected.
"World building games can be fascinating for a long time, and a lot of players want to 're-read' Doodle God over and over time like a good book," Paul said. FUN GALLERY "And in the event of an absolute lockdown, when a person spends almost all the time at homewhat could be better than re-reading a favorite book, re-watching your favorite TV show, or re-creating the world in Doodle God Universe?"
To have the most fun with the game, players who pick up Doodle God Universe must be open to new ideas, Paul says. Doodle God Universe rewards curiosity.
Paul said, "Use your imagination. Let creativity be your engine." "There is no set pattern for the game. You can apply your thinking skills to combine elements or create them chaotically."
