Doodle God

Doodle God is a creative element-combination puzzle game developed by JoyBits. It originally released as a Flash browser game, then ported to mobile and Steam platforms. Players act as the creator, starting with only four basic elements: earth, air, fire and water. Mix two elements together to unlock new substances, lives, civilizations and mythical creatures. Discover hundreds of recipes ranging from microbes, plants and animals, to tools, humans, skyscrapers, dragons and aliens. Every successful creation comes with witty quotes, and some combinations trigger unexpected events, such as a zombie plague after inventing the wheel. With simple doodle hand-drawn graphics and mouse click controls, the game features a hint system, quest mode and planet mode. This casual puzzle game tests imagination and logical thinking, and was a globally famous element crafting browser hit during the Flash era.

These games get the keyboard directly — the controls are whatever the game itself defines, usually in its own help or options screen. Some games show on-screen buttons on phones.
