Games with Doodle-style characters and backgrounds are topping the charts in the App Store for both paid and free apps. It seems folks just can't get enough Doodle Games. In no particular order, here is our list of the Best Doodle-Drawn Games in the App Store. All these games work great with both iPhone and iPad devices.

Doodle Kart Life: Doodle Kart Life looks as though it is on grid paper and drawn with a ball point pen, but unlike other similar games, this one looks pretty decent. The driver has numerous options for controlling the car: speed, acceleration, weight, items. Also, like the tried and true Mario Kart, "weapons" can be used to take down opponents. Want this game for free? The, check out Doodle Kart Lite.

Doodle Jump: If an addicting game is what you're looking for, Doodle Jump is the ticket. It is the player's duty to guide an imaginary four-legged creature, affectionately dubbed the "Doodler," up a never ending series of platforms without failing. There is no end. You cannot beat the game. You only try to beat your high score. Guide "Doodler" to a safe spot, hopefully avoiding monsters, UFO's, and black holes in rainforest, jungle, or space themed adventures.

Doodle Army: This game requires a sense of humor, but thankfully, not a long attention span. Doodle Army is perfect for those who don't have the time or desire to get stuck for an hour when more important tasks are at hand. Don't drop it so quickly. It's the little things that will keep you coming back. Basically, as an army soldier, you move from side to side, jump and crouch, fire and duck. Pass checkpoints and earn purple hearts to level up, moving from one historically real war to the next.

Glow Doodle: Much like a modern day light bright, this app is simple, colorful, and quickly gaining the popularity it deserves. A mere six neon colors are at your disposal, and unfortunately, no eraser. Yet the artistically challenged need not fear; there is an undo button for quick fixes. The bright colors are used to draw and doodle on a pitch black background for the greatest contrast. After your picture is complete, tap the glow button and watch your doodle illuminate with life. The newest version even has the option to illuminate certain parts while others remain dull. The best part is, you can save the pictures as wallpaper or send them to friends.

Swakker Doodle: Swakker Doodle may just be the most high tech of all the doodle applications out there. You can simply doodle on a blank page with the option of over 50 colors, or you can doodle to your heart's delight on an existing photo or one of the apps many backgrounds. Like a real artist, choose from fine or broad thicknesses, and grab the eraser when needed. Invite a friend, whether they are connected to Swakker Doodle or not, to join with you. The two or more separate screens will display the same picture with the same added doodles. When the fun is over, save the masterpiece to your library to remember the good time you shared with your long distance friends.
