Doodlecrime is a wario-like with stealth mechanics.
Whenever you touch a laser/camera, the escape sequence starts and you have to quickly get the treasure and go back to the sewers, otherwise you will be sent to jail.
Sure, you can walk around, jump and use weapons, but you can also ride a bike. The bike lets you ride up walls at the cost of not being able to use weapons and not being able to jump. You can run over enemies with the bike which is an instakill atack, but you have limited fuel. You can regain fuel by picking up fuel cans.
You have 3 weapons: The fist, The gun and the Shotgun.
The fist is a melee weapon that allows you to punch close-up enemies. If you punch a cop without the glove powerup, you get tased!
The gun is a ranged weapon with 7 ammo. When you run out of ammo, you have to wait a bit to reload. While reloading, you can use other weapons.
The shotgun is a hybrid weapon with 1 ammo that fires 3 pellets at once. The shotgun deals more damage up close because all the pellets hit the enemy, but it can also be used to hit multiple enemies at once!
Whenever you beat a level, your "Crime Level" increases.
If your crime level is more than zero, you will see wanted posters appear across all the levels and civilians with phones will call the police when they see you.
If your crime level is 1 or higher, there will be extra normal cops in the level.
If your crime level is 2 or higher, there will be extra taser pro cops in the level.
If your crime level is 3, there will be extra undercover cops in the level.
If you lose (go to jail), your crime level will be reset to 0
The hubworld has a shop section where you can buy powerups! (There are currently 2)
The laptop allows you to hack and disable 3 obstacles (lasers/cameras) before running out of battery.
The glove allows you to punch cops without getting tased (3 uses)
The price of the powerups depends on how many uses they have left. This makes it so you don't have to pay full price for a powerup that you only used a couple times.
