### 5/5 — Mr.Doodle!

*2023-01-29, version 1.31*

This is a very nice adaptation of the original, which is unfortunately unobtainable these days.  Using a Bluetooth controller is a must.  Thank goodness this game supports it.  I have come across a lot of retro games that don’t and they are unplayable.

### 5/5 — 昭和のアーケードゲーム

*2022-12-04*

子供のころ駄菓子屋に置いてあったなぁ〜
40年前を思い出します。

### 3/5 — Clunky controls but glorious game

*2021-02-24*

Controls are not crisp, but great to see this resurrection of the greatest arcade game of the 1980’s!

### 1/5 — Great Game, HORRIBLE CONTROLS

*2021-01-26*

You cannot move with adequate speed and precision, guiding Mr Doodle with your finger on the screen.  Frustration is maddenimg.

### 4/5 — Great game hard to control

*2020-09-05*

Maybe when I get used to it I’ll be able to play better

### 4/5 — Good game

*2020-01-14, version 1.31*

Good game fun just like Mr Do

### 3/5 — Controls can be improved.

*2019-10-24*

I think this game has potential and could be a great homage to the original if the controls were improved. As it stands now, they are not sufficient for fast direction changes and lend one to frequently block the view of the action. I cannot get far enough into the game to have any feedback to level design. Love to see a lab update to this that improves controls.

### 2/5 — It IS Mr. Do    [however]

*2018-08-16*

Don't 🐃💩 me on the way the E X T R A move and don't get smashed on 🍎 and sometimes the ball ⚾️ going through them without stopping the little 👱🏿👱🏿👱🏿's -- plus the 💎 isn't the best find ever and it lost its magic like it had in the original. IT SHOWS UP WAY TOO OFTEN for a measly 8000 points and simply a gateway to the next scene

### 3/5 — Mr Do!

*2017-12-05*

I found this today searching for mr do! Mr Do! Was an arcade game from the 1980s. I was Happy I found this but controls are tough.

### 4/5 — Love it, but movement and shooting could be better

*2017-07-23*

All the nostalgia of the original mr do, but because it's all touch movement you really do a quick turn and shoot when you're being chased like with a joystick. Learning curve? Oh well.
