Monster Truck Doodle is a physics-based racer that prioritizes fun and creativity over realism. The 'doodle' aesthetic is charming, making the whole game look like it was drawn in a notebook during a particularly boring math class. Driving the trucks feels weighty and powerful, and the levels are designed to encourage big air and spectacular crashes.

The gameplay involves navigating increasingly difficult terrain while collecting stars and avoiding flipping over. It’s a tried-and-true formula, and while it doesn't do much to innovate, it executes the concept well. The levels get quite challenging later on, requiring precise throttle control. It’s a great little time-waster for kids and adults alike who just want to crush some obstacles.

Dinsun Review

The doodle look was cool about fifteen years ago, but here it just feels like an excuse for not having an art department. The 'monster truck' part is basically a reskinned version of every other 2D physics racer on the market. It’s slow, floaty, and the levels are forgettable. It’s clearly meant for children, but even kids deserve better than this level of generic gameplay. There’s no challenge for an experienced gamer, and the 'humor' of the art style wears off in seconds. It’s harmless, but it’s essentially junk food for the eyes.

Updated for iOS 13
Truck Doodle is a fun, yet simple app that allows your little ones to design their very own monster trucks! They choose and customize the body style, add an engine, shocks, and tires. Then, they can paint it any color they like, including two-tone paint and finish with one or several cute decals.
Once their truck is just the way they like it, they can drive it along our peaceful countryside scene. To make the driving especially fun, they can try to hit (or avoid) various fruit obstacles along the way. Their truck becomes covered with splatters as they hit the fruits and will inevitably need a car wash. Good thing we've included one!
Once in the car wash, your little one can clean up their truck with a sponge, a spinning brush and a water hose. Then, take their truck back to the garage to further customize or just run it along the path again.
Designed to be simple enough for younger kids, but still lots of fun for older kids.
