Hopefully last week you had a long weekend, but now it is back to the grind. The cool thing is it’s Friday and we present you another great way to waste time at the office with Doodle Defender.
Doodle Defender
When you start out you can draw your own ship of choose a premade one.
The controls are pretty basic with arrow keys to move, spacebar or “F” to shoot, and the Shift key to activate a shield.
Now, you fly around and defend your space by shooting the invading ships and by creating shields that trap them.
After a level you can shop for more ships and upgrades to them as well.
Make sure you turn down the volume so the boss doesn’t hear and waste time doodling and shooting other ships until the day is done.
