Each round in DoodleMod has a modifier that changes how drawing or guessing works. The modifier is picked randomly from the ones the host has enabled, and it's shown to everyone before drawing starts. Here's what each one does.
✏️ Normal Mode
No changes. Standard drawing.
🖌️ Fat Brush
Your brush is locked to the largest possible size. Fine detail is impossible. Try to use as much of the canvas size as possible.
📄 Paper Shredder
The canvas slowly gets shredded from the bottom up as the round progresses. Strips of the drawing disappear over time, so guessers are working against a shrinking image. Draw the most recognisable parts of whatever you're drawing near the top of the canvas so they survive longer. Anything important at the bottom will probably be gone before anyone can see it.
🟦 Pixel Art
Instead of smooth lines, everything is drawn in chunky square blocks. The brush snaps to a grid so you're essentially placing pixels rather than drawing freely. Use simple shapes and icons. Portraits and detailed scenes will not translate well.
🧩 Puzzle Pieces
The canvas is split into a 3x3 grid and the nine sections are scrambled into a random order. The artist draws normally but guessers see the sections in the wrong positions, so the image appears shuffled. Guessers need to mentally rearrange the pieces to figure out what's being drawn. As the artist, try to draw things that are still readable even when sections are out of order, or stick to drawing in just one of the grids.
🐷 Annoying Pig
A pig bounces around the canvas, covering parts of the drawing as it moves. The artist can still draw everywhere but the pig will obscure things periodically as guessers are looking. Draw quickly and aim to get the key parts of your drawing done before the pig has covered too much.
💀 Sudden Death
Each guesser gets exactly one guess. If you're wrong, you're locked out for the rest of the round. Artists draw as normal but the pressure on guessers is much higher. As a guesser, wait until you're confident, using the letter reveals and watch the drawing develop before committing. Further, wait for other guessers to submit wrong guesses to help rule some words out. As the artist, draw clearly and quickly since guessers need enough to go on without getting multiple chances.
😀 Emoji Style
The brush draws using emojis instead of brush strokes. Each mark you make places an emoji on the canvas rather than a line. The emoji used depends on the color you have on your brush. The result is abstract and often pretty chaotic. As a guesser, use the color of the emoji to your advantage to try and infer what the artist was intending.
⏳ Fading Ink
Drawings fade away over time. What you draw doesn't stay permanently on the canvas as it slowly disappears. This means the artist has to keep redrawing important parts, and guessers have a narrowing window to catch key details. As the artist, prioritize the most important part of your drawing and keep redrawing it if you must. Don't spend too long on fine details that will vanish.
⚫ Black Hole
A black circle sits in the middle of the canvas that the artist cannot draw over or through. It blocks part of the drawing area permanently, and sucks in pixels that you draw. As the artist, plan to draw quickly before the pixels get sucked in and it becomes impossible to tell what you've made.
