Doodle Dodge

Your notebook is alive — and the artist isn't finished. Doodle Dodge is a hand-drawn endless runner where pencils sketch each obstacle into the page right in front of you. Read the marks before the ink sets, then swipe to dodge, jump, or slide through an ever-faster schoolbook world. RUN THE LIVING PAGE Every line wiggles like a flip-book doodle. Obstacles are drawn in real time, so the sketch itself is your warning. STAY ONE STEP AHEAD Dodge shifting walls, leap over rulers and ink blots, slide under pencil-post banners, and watch for tricks from a restless artist. BUILD YOUR COMBO Clean dodges, near misses, and stars raise your score multiplier. One hit puts the grumpy eraser on your trail. A second hit before you recover rubs you out. FILL THE PENCIL CASE Collect stars, unlock distinctive runners and rides, choose a useful PAL companion, and upgrade that PAL from level one to three. Begin with Slow-Mo Ink, earn four more powers by distance, then spend stars to add five increasingly rare tools: Eraser Shield, Paper Plane, Sharpener Dash, Magic Eraser, and Mech Pencil. Ten powers in all include the rare Superstar, worth 20 stars and a quick combo level. CHOOSE YOUR RUN Skate, scoot, ride, bounce, rapid-jump with Skipster, or run on foot. Every ride has a real handling trade-off, while Pip, Loop, Ruly, and Patch can deliver powers, sweep nearby stars, rule a Straight Path through danger, or save a run. SURVIVE THE SCRIBBLE STORM The page changes as the run grows across eight hand-drawn worlds, from lined notebooks and chalkboards to a watercolour Tidepool Page. Every kilometre brings a short, frantic Scribble Storm and a bonus for surviving it. No ads. Play offline as a guest, or optionally use Sign in with Apple to sync progress, choose a moderated public Doodler name, and post completed runs to the current and all-time World Boards. Public names can be reported or hidden directly from the board. How far can you run before the artist catches up? SUPPORT SICKKIDS Doodle Dodge includes an optional link to a fundraising page in support of SickKids Foundation.
