In the margin of a child's notebook, a tiny hero drawn in red pen blinks awake — just in time to see the doodles next door being erased. The pompous Eraser King wants every page wiped clean and blank. Grab your pen, Nib: it's time to fight for every scribble! Doodle Brawl is a hand-drawn side-scrolling action game packed with punchy combos, silly ragdoll physics and stationery-themed enemies. Juggle Pencil Soldiers, bat back lead from Lead Slingers, and send an enemy flying into its friends for a satisfying BOWLING! FEATURES • 100 stages across 10 notebook chapters — math, art, science, music, your diary and more — with 10 bosses to beat • 4 classes — Brawler, Swordfighter, Archer and Mage — each with 7 special skills to unlock and upgrade • One ultimate per class, charged by fighting — Storm Rush, Giant Cleave, Meteor Arrow and Elemental Burst — unlocked after beating Stubby, the first boss • Combos, juggles and ragdoll physics: knock enemies into spikes and bowl them over • 52 pieces of gear that change your look (including attack-speed gear), plus pets that follow you into battle • All of Chapter 1 (1-1 to 1-10) is free; after that, unlock everything with a one-time purchase or watch an ad to unlock each stage • No energy system, no paid loot boxes — a Remove Ads purchase turns off all ads • Play offline, anytime • Play on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with keyboard and game controller support Pick a pen, pick a fight, and bring the doodles back before the notebook goes blank!
