What a wonderful game. I could refine my doodles for hours. But that's not at all what I did. I burned through the easy training battles of the story to unlock new parts for my doodles, tacking the latest and greatest parts haphazardly to boost the power of my doodles. There is a nice difficulty spike for the last section, which are basically the only non tutorial battles of the main story. It was just the right amount of tension to keep me coming back for more without taking too many retries. I'm glad I never got far as a kid, because I don't think I would have understood some of the thoughts presented as the final scenes unfolded, but the game was a great combination of whimsy and depth.

If you like games where you create part of the world without all of it falling on your shoulders, and can handle a rock, paper, scissors turn based combat system, then I highly recommend playing this game however you can get your hands on it. There is nothing else quite like it. I would offer to share, but I suspect I'll be back to make some wildly imaginative doodles soon.
