Doodly Defense

Doodly Defense is a notepad artstyle, short, 2D real-time, tower defense, strategy game, in which the player must protect their Scribbly from encroaching creepy crawlys, by building an entourage of cute Doodlys to help them. The game features a stylized doodle notepad artstyle with key gameplay elements being more detailed and pristine.

• Build Strategically: construct your Doodlys in strategic areas to maximize creepy crawly destruction!
• Defend & Protect: overcome waves of creepy crawly's that wish to crush your precious Scribbly!
• Upgrade: improve your Doodlys to new levels of destruction with the gold you earn from defeated creepy crawlys, and be rewarded by saving gold before the end of the wave for an extra 10% bonus!
• Stylized Art: experience the doodle notepad environment of Doodly Defense!

Meet Fudge, a cute cat perched in a flower pot!

Meet Old Hydie, an elderly hydrangea flower!

Old Hydie shoots slowing bullets to help you control the front runners in the wave. Place her strategically in high traffic areas and she can prevent your scribbly from dying with ease.

Please note, if the enemy is already stunned they cannot be slowed - place strategically!

Meet Spookums, a ghost here to scare and stun the creepy crawlys!

Spookums shoots stunning bullets that allow you further control over your enemies that encroach on your notepad! 

Please note, if the enemy is already slowed they cannot be stunned - place strategically!

Come play our new, short, 2D, real-time, tower defense, strategy game inspired by Bloons TD 6 & Plants vs Zombies called Doodly Defense. This 6 week project, with a two person team is for our Masters Degree. We had to produce a game within the tower defense genre. We are a team of an Artist & Designer (Elisus) & an Artist (Chloe) and we make up PinkPondGames and we enjoy creating short 2D games for you to enjoy.

• You can upgrade Doodlys to level 3 (gold), the button for it just says 'upgrade to level 2' this will be fixed soon
• Winning the game displays the wrong screen
