Doodle Jump (iPhone)

The best things in life are free - this is a phrase that has been reaffirming people’s feelings for years, that you don’t need to spend to enjoy the finer things in life. So, in reality this much debated phrase may stand true, however what about in the magical world of Apple? Apple are known for their extortionate prices (£76 for an iPhone case I’d say was extortionate), however if someone was to offer you a game (known as an App in Apple’s world) that would offer you hours upon hours of entertainment, giving you the chance to get competitive with your friends and family what would you say ... more

There are always going to be those few minutes in your life when you're in need of a minor amusement, like waiting for a train or a friend. You just want to be doing something for a few minutes that won't require much brain power and you can forget about as soon as your train/friend arrives. iPhone and its wonderful downloadable applications are a godsend in these situations and my new favourite? Doodlejump! Doodlejump is available from the iTunes store for a whopping 59p, it will only take a matter of minutes to download straight to your iPhone via the internet, or you can download and sync ... more

Here we go again, another cheeky iPhone application for you – but this time you will have to pay a slight price…but that’s fine when it’s this addictive. This is Doodlejump. Developed by Lima Sky, the aim of the game is simply to get as high as you can with ‘Doodler’ – a four legged creature that appears to have been ‘doodled’ on the screen. (that’s obviously the point of the game, with all the graphics and characters appearing to have been drawn by hand) The game can in theory go on for as long as you’re able to control the character, with an endless number of short platforms that Doodler ... more

Doodlejump is an application for the iPhone which is available from the iTunes store for 59p and I think this is a very reasonable price as this application has already provided me with hours of entertainment in the few weeks that I have had it installed on my phone. Doodlejump is a fairly straight forward game where you are a little cartoon character (Doodle?) and by tilting the iPhone left and right your character will jump from little green platform to little green platform and slowly advance up higher and higher. The background of the game is made up of tiny mathematical squares and your ... more

Doodlejump is one of the thousands of practically useless yet brilliant applications to grace the Iphone's App Store. Now, I say it is practically useless, and this isn't entirely true, it's actually counter-productive, making it worse than useless. The fact that it has taken away hours and hours of the 3 million people who have downloaded it's lives is staggering. Combined, the hours it has taken away could have probably been used in a more helpful way, but I for one wouldn't change a thing. Doodlejump is a simple game (Come on, we all know they are the best) that is based around the Iphone's ... more
