Doodle Jump is a game from Lima Sky [$0.99- iTunes Link] with a highly addictive but simple premise. You try to get the highest score as possible, in this case trying to get your doodle as high as you can.
If you ever played the ‘Bells’ game with the jumping bunny [Orisinal Bells], it is quite similar to it. Doodle Jump, however, puts their own twist on it with different boost items and creative usage of the iPhone’s capiblities.
Doodle Jump uses the accelerometer to control the doodle’s direction. In action, it works quite well without any noticeable delay. When playing through the game, you will encounter different types of platforms; for instance the brown platform will break once you land on it and blue platforms move side to side. Some platforms even have springs that will boost you higher and faster.
There are also several item pickups you can get like the flying cap or jetpacks that will boost your doodle as well. As you progress further up, there are even more obstacles to avoid such as holes and monsters.
The game uses ‘Facebook Connect’ as a way to track high scores. Additionally, what is great about the way they implemented it is that you can see people’s high scores as you play through the game. A small dash on the right side of the screen with the players name will display as you jump your way higher.
Overall I would highly recommend this game – when I first started playing it, I couldn’t put it down. A simple concept with excellent execution and only at a price of 99 cents!
