I think this is a creative concept for a tower defense game. I really like the idea of fixing towers. This makes me feel that I am actually playing the game instead of watching it like other tower defense game.

In addition, the animation is not as good-looking as other TD games available in the stores, but there is a lot of effort in making it. For example, In the first chapter after the tutorial, the movement of the spiders' legs is designed with great detail.

I also think it is suitable to have a narrative behind this game .

Played this game during NUS's STEPS. Really impressed by its aesthetic and art style! I think this is easily one of the most polished user interfaces among all the STEPS games.

Couldn't finish the game during the demo as I was too noob to pass the tutorial stage :'( So I am here trying to finish the game and find out what happens next for the journey of Dan and Doodle!

Post-game Review

Wow! Awesome story! Love the BGMs and the vibes!

Really amazed by the level of design that is corresponding to the storyline! In terms of story, I think this team outshines. (cuz only this team got a legit story, lol)

Never give up!!! Tks for try again after you come home.

And thank you for recognizing our uniqueness among all the game at STEPS. Sadly, Doodle did not get a prize at STEPS. But we are happy that Doodle make a strong impression for you to hit replay and give us this feedback <3

Tried this game during STEPS CS4350. Personally not a tower defense gamer, so I failed at the tutorial level, hope you make it easier for beginner :(

Loved the poster and your free stickers. My favorite towers are laser and mortar, but they are so expensive... *cries

We are listening to players' feedbacks from STEPS and through comment to change our tutorial and instructions on how to play the game in the future. Tks for playing and giving feedbacks.

Laser is actually the secret weapon for tutorial level, hehe. They are expensive for their power also. 

Rank 5 stars for this game. Love all the visuals for this game (story dialoges, game model, animation and effects), they looked specifically design.

Tower defense mechanics are quite common among the TD games. Hope there are more unique towers to be introduced. Spiders and ghosts level are quite easy to win, as long as you have good ink control. Can increase more waves / maps(?) with stronger enemies. Cant win clown level, so that will be my challenge of the week :-)

Tks for your rating, we appreciate it. Yes, we will try to make more towers and unique enemies in the future for you to explore. Hehe, we know that clown level will be chaotic for usual tower-defense players, but that is actually how it is different from others and enable players to play more strategically.

Like the design of different chapters, especially the clown chapter. Enemies with special abilities rather than just different stats make them less vulnerable and more fun for the game.

Woah, we are glad that you have reached the final chapter of the story, hope that you enjoyed it. Tks for realizing the impact of unique enemy abilities in the game also, it's great work of our game design team. And we will bring more of them for you to explore!! 

Love the art style and the 2D artwork! Really nice aesthetic that reminds me of games like Borderlands and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands with its thick outlined art style!Love the art style and the 2D artwork!

Thank you for your love for our game. With any other players who might not know yet, you can change the thickness of outline in pause setting based on your own preferences. Hope that you will enjoy all game levels also.

Hello Doodle team. I'm SLB staff who come to your booth on STEPS. Tks for your great presentation, sharing and demo and 2 cute stickers. One of you guys approach me later after that to ask for a review or comment for your game. So I keep my Doodle promise to be here. Like others, I like the story, art and UI a lot but have yet to go through the full game. Will enjoy it later, tks for your welcome at the booth.

Hi there. Thank you for approaching our booth to know more about our game during STEPS. It was our pleasure to present our hard work and receive comment from you like this. Tks for your sharing about SLB at our booth also. Hope that you will enjoy the gameplay also.

v Agree . Cool story for a tower defense game. But I pretty like the Queen also. Wish that they had one for her.

Thanks for your comment and review. Sorry that we don't have enough budget as students to make for Queen also. But if we get some donate from our game, we will make sure that you get it next time.

Received a cute sticker today on my way to class. I really like the game story, art and UI. Will discover the whole story of the game soon.

Oh me too. But I got a different one. I think his name is Doodle, right?

Thank you. We glad that you like our game story, art and UI. Hope that you enjoy gameplay in all levels. Please tell us if you have any other feedbacks later.

I come to play the game again because of your excited demo and cute stickers given at STEPS event. The story, art is quite impressive with an undergraduate students' work. The gameplay at STEPS was a bit confusing at STEPS for me but now when I get to read everything carefully, it turns out to be quite simple, fun and chill. Good game, tks for cute stickers also =)))

Thank you, we glad that you enjoy it. We will try to make the gameplay more comprehensive in the future. 

Doodle's Diary is back!!! Can't wait to play the full game!

The full game is out now!!!! Make sure you play it and give us some feedback if possible. Thank you for waiting.
