About Doodle River: Relaxing Physics Drawing Puzzle
Doodle River is a relaxing physics drawing puzzle where a spring bubbles at the top of the screen and a dry pond waits below. The challenge is to draw a single riverbed line that carries real water, flowing drop by drop, all the way down to fill that pond. Along the way, the path must bend around rocks, carry water over walls, avoid lava, and coax every flower into bloom.
What sets Doodle River apart is that one line can solve each level in multiple ways. Across 30 hand-made levels, the puzzles grow to include moving rocks, gusts of wind that push water off course, pipes that send it across the map, and stages where drawing continues while the river is already flowing. Levels play in seconds, and the game runs on phone, tablet, and desktop.
How to Play Doodle River: Guide Water from Spring to Pond
The goal is to guide water from the spring into the dry pond and fill it to win the level. Draw one riverbed line from the spring toward the pond. Once the line is released, water begins flowing along it. Steer the path around rocks and walls and keep it clear of lava. A "Riverbed left" bar tracks the limited amount of dirt available for drawing.
Stars
