Hold the whole world in your hands with Doodle God: Evolution; now a bundle on PlayStation 4 of Doodle God and Doodle Farm (because every self-respecting God needs a retirement plan)
Planet Earth, October 7th 2020 | JoyBits, leading cross-platform publisher and developer, is proud to announce that after successful releases on both Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, the global classic puzzle game, Doodle God: Evolution arrives on PlayStation 4 on 15th October 2020. A two-for-one bundle of Doodle God and Doodle Farm.
Doodle God: Evolution sees players start out by combining the four elements (air, water, fire & earth) as they set about building their very own civilization. With over 500 unlockable items, players can progress through world-building with some gusto in the preliminary stages. But they will need to have all their creative wits about them to ultimately complete the puzzle — and their world. Not to mention supporting life itself. No pressure then.
Recreating a universe may seem like a huge, godly, undertaking for just one player. Fortunately Doodle God: Evolution offers some calming — and sometimes clarifying — moments of assistance. Each time players successfully create a new item they are rewarded with an interesting scientific fact or philosophical pearl of wisdom from some of the greatest minds our world has ever known. Occasionally that advice might not be obviously helpful but, as in life itself, there’s value in the journey. It’s all about piecing things together, literally.
Features: – Planet mode allows players to see their planet come alive as they play. – Mission mode offers new, exciting and challenging puzzles. – Puzzle mode tasks players with finding that all-important final object.
Doodle God: Evolution is brimming with demanding quests to complete and hundreds of interesting facts and funny, thought-provoking quotes to discover.
Available for purchase on the PlayStation store (priced £10/€10/$10) on 15th October 2020, Doodle God: Evolution offers an improved version of the much-loved puzzler Doodle God bundled with Doodle Farm!

TERROR SQUID is an easy to understand but difficult to master arcade game in which every enemy projectile is emitted by you, the TERROR SQUID.

Think fast and strategically as you weave through a bullet hell of your own making!
Your objective is to survive for as long as possible without getting hit by your own projectiles. Survive for long enough and you can release a primordial blast of dark energy, detonating your projectiles in glorious chain reactions. Inspired by the spherical maps of Super Stardust and the short, intense action of Devil Daggers, TERROR SQUID is an endlessly addictive test of strategy and reflexes. Only the best players will manage to survive for even a minute in this unholy vector graphics apocalypse. Destroy worlds, ascend the leaderboards, and become one with the void in TERROR SQUID.
“With TERROR SQUID we wanted to make a hypnotic score-attack game that’s easy to grasp, but difficult to master,” said Creative Director Syver Lauritzsen. “We also wanted it to feel haunted, just as the best 80s arcade games infect your brain in ways both terrifying and entrancing. Become one with the TERROR SQUID.”
About Apt Games Apt Games is a software division of the acclaimed digital ad agency Apt, making its gaming debut with the release of its score-attack arcade affair TERROR SQUID, coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam in 2020.
