In Doodle Jump by Lima Sky LLC, you control a cute, perpetually jumping green creature going from platform to platform. You must dodge monsters, shoot them by touching the screen if need be, as well as avoiding any faulty platforms. This game provides simple, direct gameplay, precisely what has made it so addicting for so many players.
The game provides no multiplayer functionality; you are competing against yourself to get a higher score. You do have the ability to share scores with your Facebook friends, as well as emailing them through the game. You can view global and personal scores as well.
The game employs cartoon-style graphics in bright, crisp animations. The controls are simple; with the use of the accelerometer, you control your character from platform to platform.
Might highest score is under 30,000. What I've encountered are monsters, blackholes, spaceships, and disappearing white platforms. There are other platforms as well; the "safe" green color, a moving blue platform, and a brown, broken and unsafe platform.
The game uses score markers so you can view local (personal) and global scores. You have the option of allowing global leaderboard auto submission, as well as directional shooting and sound muting.
In all honesty, this game is very simple. However, perhaps this simplicity is what has immersed so many players in to wanting a higher score. Its accessibility makes it a game for all ages to enjoy, and the coming updates are sure to enhance the already addictive gameplay.
Currently, the game costs $0.99. Considering the bevy of games available for that same price, there are probably few as simple and addictive as Doodle Jump.
