Behind the scenes
In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, Google released a Doctor Who game as their logo "doodle," codenamed the "Whodle." It was one of the most complex doodles that Google had ever done, with 5 levels where the player worked to retrieve the six letters to the Google logo (possibly a sly reference to the Key to Time) while avoiding the Doctor's foes. Every incarnation of the Doctor was playable (if the player was killed by a baddie he would regenerate into the next Doctor, with infinite lives), and the Daleks, Cybermen, and Weeping Angels featured as villains.
