About

Doodle Ops

Read full description

Doodle Ops is a hand-drawn tactical logic game where every call-out is a puzzle. Read the numbers, identify hidden threats, mark suspected mines, and use your scanner when the situation gets uncertain. Clear structures ranging from residences and duplexes to police stations, fire stations, and more — all presented inside a distinctive notebook-style field manual. Choose Recruit, Operator, or Veteran difficulty and work through procedurally generated tactical boards where careful reasoning matters more than speed. Features include: • Tactical number-based logic gameplay • Multiple structure layouts • Three difficulty levels • Limited-use scanner assistance • Mission statistics and service record tracking • Hand-drawn notebook visual style • Optional rewarded advertising • One-time option to remove automatic ads forever Every board is a new call-out. Read the scene, mark the threats, and clear the structure. Think outside the grid.
