Globus, the most sophisticated robot in the universe, has been put under your control in order to rid the "Xenon" planet of its total destruction. To achieve it you must restore the energy level of all sectors of the central reactor. Avoid the robots that the enemy sends to sabotage your mission. Deactivate the bombs before it's too late! Globus was developed for the popular ZX Spectrum computer in 1987 and remained unpublished until its release in 2017, 30 years later! Now you can enjoy this new version of that old game, which retains the same graphics, music and sound effects than the original ZX Spectrum version, and improves movement, score and gameplay in general.

DoodleLoop is a ridiculous, creative, and slightly chaotic game of drawing and captioning that unfolds over a week—one round per day. Inspired by the classic telephone game (but with doodles!), it’s built to spark laughter, surprise, and a whole lot of “wait… how did we get here?” Each day, you’ll either draw based on a silly caption someone wrote, or write a new caption for a strange drawing someone else made. You never know what you’ll get, and by the end of the week, you’ll witness the full loop—how an innocent idea transformed into something completely unexpected and hilarious. It’s easy to play, impossible to predict, and perfect for people who love to laugh, sketch, or just see where the story goes. Whether you’re a doodle master or can barely draw a smiley face, you’ll fit right in. How it works: • Games last one week, with one action per day (either a drawing or a caption). • You can join public groups, start your own, or play with friends. • Every loop is anonymous until the end of the week—so guess who drew what! • Join anytime, and if it’s midweek, you’ll start fresh next Monday. • At the end of the week, the full story is revealed. Laughs guaranteed. Why people love DoodleLoop: • It’s the perfect daily burst of creativity • The results are always unexpected • Great for friends, family, or coworkers • No pressure—just fun, goofy storytelling • Recaps are easily shareable (and often ridiculous) DoodleLoop brings people together through bite-sized creativity. It’s a game, a comic strip, a memory-maker, and a social experience all rolled into one. Play at your own pace, spark inside jokes, and build stories you’ll want to revisit again and again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DoodleLoop at 5.0 against ZX Globus's 4.4. DoodleLoop also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 18 months). ZX Globus's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
