Lumiappaday #55: Doodle God demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 #XboxLive

Anyone familiar with “Alchemy” for Android or iOS should be instantly at home with todays Lumiappaday, Doodle God is based on a very simple concept, you begin with the four basic elements: Water, Fire, Earth and Air. Using your own creativity you must mix these elements together to form newer elements, creatures, and buildings ranging from Quicksilver to Dinosaurs and Golems.

There are over 400 different elements to Discover/Unlock (I think the trial version only has 135), these elements are classified into 15 different groups (Life, Water, Death, Bacteria, Fire…). The main difference between Doodle God and Alchemy is the ease of use, the setup in Doodle God is extremely nice and simple, making it easy to keep track of the elements you’ve unlocked (that might not sound important but once you have about 50 elements it starts becoming crucial); as bonus after each element is unlocked a proverb/quote regarding that element is also unlocked (I’d like the ability to view all the quotes you’ve unlocked but that doesn’t seem possible as if now).

Doodle God comes with a side of ‘MiniGames’ that are unlocked once you create the ‘Games’ element within the main part (haven’t reached it yet so I have no idea what the minigames are like), there are also “Quests” such as “rescue the Princess from the Dragon” and “Help Santa” that are also unlocked once you reach a particular stage. As if it weren’t addictive enough on it’s own  Doodle God is an Xbox Live app meaning it has achievements to be unlocked and leaderboards to compete on, so for once you are truly only limited by your creativity.
