Je l’avais installé par nostalgie, mais au bout de 5 min je le désinstalle car insupportable. Dommage ### 3/5 — Mid game *2026-06-12, version 4.4.45* It’s too money hungry every second it gives you a pop about spending money to get rid of adds kinda fun though ### 2/5 — Много рекламы *2026-05-21* В игре что что-то построить почти всегда на смотреть рекламу а так игра хорошая ### 1/5 — Injouable *2026-04-02* Le jeu est totalement injouable sans payer pub toutes les 1minutes et on peut pas jouer sans connections ### 3/5 — Werbung *2026-03-30* Es ist so schade dass es fast keine Spiele mehr ohne Werbung gibt ### 2/5 — Wall of Ads *2026-02-08, version 4.3.33* This game is a fun time killer, but you spend half the time being forced to watch ads. It’s $8.99 to get rid of ads, which I’m not paying. ### 1/5 — Uma bosta *2026-01-23* Muito anúncio! ### 1/5 — много рекламы *2026-01-21* очень ### 1/5 — 👎 *2026-01-17* реклама каждые две минуты ### 2/5 — Doodle God: Ok Game With Some Issues *2026-01-05, version 4.3.7* Decent game, though when I reinstalled it last time, I lost all my progress. ### 4/5 — Top Game *2025-12-22* Schöner Zeitvertreib, lad es mir immer wieder runter. Neuen Updates sind Top. Werbung nervt ### 3/5 — Good but broken *2025-12-14, version 4.3.7* I like this game but somehow, the game kept glitching and now it won’t let me in anymore. Can you fix it please? ### 1/5 — Viel zu viel Werbung *2025-11-29* Die Werbungen sind so lästig es ist nicht mal wert es weiter zu spielen damit ich mir am Tag 8 Stunden Werbung angucken muss. ### 4/5 — Fun but… *2025-11-27, version 4.3.7* the add amount is a little ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Basically nothing but ads. *2025-11-25, version 4.3.7* Can’t do more than 4 elements before getting hit with an ad that you have to watch another ad to exit out of. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Werbung *2026-08-26* Hier hat man alle 2 Minuten einen Werbung ### 1/5 — UNPLAYABLE *2026-08-22, version 4.4.54* Do not waste your time. The developers should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Pop ups and ads during and after every creation. £7.99 per week to remove ads is diabolical. If you are a developer looking to ruin your game this is the blueprint. The sheer amount of ads is absurd, a classic game has turned to something I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. It’s practically malware. ### 1/5 — Genuinely Depressed Now *2026-08-13, version 4.4.53* I used to play this game ALL THE TIME back when I was a kid. No ads, no forced VIP needed, no glove pointing at things to tell me what to do. Within the very first MINUTE of the game opening, I was greeted with two ads I could click off of and one full screen ad that took 60 seconds for me to be able to click off. What went wrong here?! ### 1/5 — Don’t bother getting *2026-08-11, version 4.4.53* All it is just add upon ads there is 0 gameplay that is good jut get infinite craft ### 1/5 — I used to love this game *2026-07-22, version 4.4.49* My older brother recommended this to me over 5 years ago and OMG what did they do! Now it’s just pure slop marketing. It used to be so peak. How dare you ruin such a perfect game ### 1/5 — Não recomendo *2026-07-10* Demasiado anúncios, impossível de curtir o jogo. ### 1/5 — Critique constructive *2026-07-07* Très bon jeu de réflexion et d’imaginaire malgres cela l’expérience est très mauvaise c’est impossible de jouer avec des pub qui vienne toute les 5 seconde . A quoi sa sert de faire des jeux dans ces condition ? Y en a aucune je désinstalle . ### 1/5 — Used to love this game *2026-06-18, version 4.4.45* I used to play this all the time in middle school and highschool thanks to my brother’s recommendation. I found it in my history and thought maybe I’d play it again but oh my god what did they do this thing??? They added this weird planet view that you have to watch ads to complete and then you have no choice but to watch ads again every 30 seconds or so. You could buy the ad free thing but then you might as well buy the original rather than spend money unlocking ad free versions or paying for the essence you use in five minutes. I’m sad to say the nostalgia I got was cut so short I couldn’t spend even ten minutes in it without being fed up. Terrible terrible marketing choices for a game that used to be so fun. ### 1/5 — Задушенного рекламой *2026-05-06* Постоянно вылетает реклама, через 3 действия ### 1/5 — More ads than there are games… *2026-04-15, version 4.4.42* I create an element. AD. I press the earth button. AD. I open the game. AD. Rip to my beloved😪 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра *2026-06-21, version 4.4.46* Я играл в данную игру 5 лет назад, решил ее найти и увидел новое обновление, рекламы стало больше, но и элементов стало очень много, именно для декора планеты, а так же появились скины и все эти элементы красивые, а реклама у меня длится очень мало. ### 5/5 — Why ads?!>:( *2026-06-12, version 4.4.45* I am not playin’ until you remove the ads>:(… still good ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-10, version 4.4.42* It’s a good game ### 5/5 — Top *2026-01-16* Legal ### 5/5 — Not game *2025-10-22, version 4.3.7* Love ### 5/5 — Great puzzle game *2025-08-06, version 4.3.6* Love this. ### 5/5 — Yuck is good *2025-06-25, version 4.3.3* Doodle god more like doodle add ### 5/5 — Love the game *2025-04-28, version 4.2.64* Been playing this for years and love the updates to the game adds a new dynamic to everything I just wish they’d slack off the add content some every 3rd to 5th move is a little much ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-04-11, version 4.2.64* The is so fun and it can go on forever you will never be able to stop playing ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-02-12, version 4.2.64* Always a great past time --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
