I am a bit iffy when it comes to buying $0.99 applications. In some cases the application is great, in others the application is absolutely horrendous. I have lost quite a bit of money telling myself "Oh it's just $1 what's there to lose?". Apparently quite a bit of money in lousy cheap applications. Fortunately for me, Doodle Jump is one of those games easily worth $1. It is addictive like no game I have seen before, and has managed to make it's way towards the top of the list of my favorite applications.Doodle Jump is a simple game that is great when you only have a few quick minutes to play. The general concept is to get your doodle as high as possible without falling or hitting an obstacle. The controls are as easy as tilting your device side to side. The farther you tilt the faster he moves that direction. The objective is to bounce from platform to platform up higher and higher in an attempt to beat not only your previous high, but highs from everyone else. There are loads of ways to fail in this game. Falling is the simplest, falling into holes in the paper, evil monsters, and even UFOs are trying to hinder your height. If those weren't enough even some of the platforms are out to get you. Breaking, moving, and even exploding platforms are another hindrance standing between you and utter victory. Don't think it's all bad though, there are springs, jetpacks, and even propeller hats to help you reach the top.
In a nutshell Doodle Jump is fabulous. I've said it before and I'll say it again this game is addictive! You will literally be telling yourself "Just one more time" each and every time. My current high is around 25,000 but don't think I'm giving up there. The graphics are cute and very well drawn and the controls are easy to become accustomed to. Pick it up and see if you can beat my score. If you already have it feel free to post your high below, I'd love to know what my new goal should be. (Mike has already achieved over 40,000, anyone beat that?).
