    "Here in California it's illegal to text while driving, but there's no law about playing Doodle Jump!* At least that's what I thought till I got pulled over, but the good news is that I showed the cop the game and he didn't write me a ticket cause he wanted to go download it right away."

    "the most addicting iPhone game yet?" -GIZMODO

    "Doodle Jump epitomizes the microgame ideal" -Slide To Play

FEATURES: - broken, moving, disappearing, moveable, and EXPLODING platforms - JET PACKs, PROPELLER HATS, and springs that fly you higher - UFOs, black holes, monsters! - jump on monsters to bring them down MARIO-style - global and local leaderboard - in-game score markers - Submit score to Facebook & Twitter - challenge friends - SECRET easter eggs created in collaboration with POCKET GOD and THE CREEPS!

    One of the earliest iOS smash hits. The game was released in April 2009, and by the end of the year it had been downloaded over a million times. It's since spawned a slew of similar titles, and although few have come close to matching the original's financial success, many offer enough innovation for any iOS gamer obsessed with helping a virtual character bounce towards the stars.

    A missed opportunity to give us something new, Doodle Jump for iPad remains as mercilessly addictive as it ever was.

It is a free app where you go a small "person" and jump about ledges, trying to avoid falling down. The higher up you go, the higher the score you will get. There are different levels and new levels are always being updated and added in. The game is great fun, though it is slightly overrated. Nevertheless a fantastic game.… Expand

It's just a very simple game, make your way up as high as you can and try to avoid the monsters that are waiting. You can shoot them or move away from them. It's a big competition of seeing who can get the highest score. But now that they added Multiplayer so you can go on a direct competition with a friend or a random opponent, makes the replay value increase to make the game a very well spent purchase of .99 cents.… Expand
