Doodle God Universe arrives on Apple Arcade this coming Friday.
The game won't have any in-app purchases or ads for gamers to deal with.

The hotly-anticipated Doodle God Universe is an Apple Arcade exclusive and it'll be available to play this coming Friday, July 16.

Gamers can look forward to using four basic elements to create their world and from what I've seen this could be a big Apple Arcade winner. Friday can't roll around soon enough! The game is joined by another big hitter in the shape of an Angry Birds game, too!
