Google has joined the Doctor Who 50th anniversary action with a timely logo and pixelated adventure. Check it out here.

Just click on the “play button” in the logo and select a starting Doctor so you can fight Daleks and Cybermen across England and into the cosmos. It’s cute and just the sort of thing I want to see in the days leading up to the 50th. Not that you could tell I’m a Doctor Who fan from some of the posts on this blog. These must be trying times for non-Who fans though.
According to the artist’s blog, Matthew Cruickshank, the mini-game and design was also helped by engineers Rui Lopes, Corrie Scalisi, and Mark Ivey.
Cruickshank sums it up nicely on his website by saying: “The Doctor Who doodle started life as a request from a fan at Google. It seemed daunting- 11 Doctor’s, 50 years of adventures, countless enemies and time travel!

But we loved the idea of science fiction, technology and fun coming together, so we set about creating a multiple level game. The game was always a simple premise- those dastardly Daleks have stolen the Google letters and we need Doctor Who to retrieve them.”
