Charming retro arcade revival hampered by touch controls

Pete Milner

Mr. Doodle! is a faithful 8‑bit style remake of the classic Mr. Do arcade game with bright retro graphics, multiple control schemes and gamepad support, but on smaller touchscreens its swipe/tap controls can feel clumsy and limit high‑level play (App Store rating 4.0 from 87 reviews).

VERY GOOD User Rating

Mr. Doodle! is a modern adaptation of a beloved retro 80's arcade game. The objective is simple: navigate through various levels, earning points by defeating monsters and collecting bonuses.

The protagonist, Mr. Doodle, is a humorous runner who never gives up until he escapes his persistent enemies and collects all the fruits in a cave. By skillfully digging the ground, he avoids collisions with monsters and lures them into traps by dropping apples on their heads. However, be cautious as the number of apples is limited. Can you strategically calculate your moves and help Mr. Doodle advance to the next level?

In this game, you will:

  • Collect cherries which will contribute to your overall score.
  • Every 5,000 points unlocks an Alfa-monster that needs to be eliminated.
  • Defeat all Alfa-monsters to spell out the word "EXTRA" using their letters.
  • Receive an additional life as a reward.
  • Become eligible for a special treasure if you discover a hidden diamond inside an apple.

The game features modern graphics accompanied by nostalgic 8-bit melodies and sound effects that enhance the enjoyable yet challenging puzzle experience.

Controls:

  • You can choose from four different control types (accessible from the in-game menu):
    1. Swipe & Tap (default): Swipe any area on the screen with your finger in the desired direction, then release your finger to stop. A quick tap anywhere on the screen will initiate firing. Additionally, while running, you can fire by tapping with a second finger while holding down the first (i.e., two fingers down equals firing).
    2. Joystick A: This classic onscreen joystick offers a d-pad that allows movement in four directions. The d-pad is located at the bottom left, while the Fire button is situated at the bottom right corner of the screen.
    3. Joystick B: An alternative onscreen joystick option. The buttons are divided: the Left/Right buttons are positioned at the bottom left corner, while the Up/Down/Fire buttons are located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
    4. If you have an MFI compatible gamepad device (such as Logitech Powershell or Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i) connected to your iPhone/iPad, you can play the game using a real joystick device and enjoy the true essence of this retro arcade game!
    5. iCade and GameDock are supported automatically.

The game currently supports:

  • iOS 6.0 and higher
  • iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 5C, 6, 6+
  • iPad and iPad HD graphics
  • Game Center leaderboards
  • MFI gamepad controllers
  • iCade and GameDock controllers
