Released in 2009 by Lima Sky, Doodle Jump became one of the most iconic mobile games of all time. With its doodle-style graphics, endless jumping action, and super simple controls, it defined the “pick up and play” era of mobile gaming.

What Makes It Fun

You play as a little doodle creature who bounces endlessly upward. Platforms appear randomly, some safe and steady while others crumble or move. The higher you go, the harder it gets, and the more points you rack up. There’s no finish line—just see how far you can climb before falling.

How to Play

• Movement: Tilt your phone left or right (or use arrow keys on PC) to steer.

• Jumping: The character jumps automatically—your job is to guide each landing.

• Shooting: Tap or click to fire at monsters blocking the way.

• Power-ups: Land on springs, trampolines, or rocket packs to soar higher.

• Hazards: Avoid broken brown platforms, black holes, and enemies that can knock you down.

Tips & Tricks

• Always look two or three platforms ahead instead of just focusing under your feet.

• Don’t rush—controlled movements help avoid missing safe spots.

• Save power-ups for tough stretches with fewer platforms.

• Clear enemies early by shooting so you don’t panic when landing.

• Use the screen edges—if you move off one side, you’ll reappear on the other.

Every run feels different because platforms and enemies shuffle randomly. It’s quick, lighthearted, and surprisingly addictive, which is why players still revisit it years later.
