Back in the day, one of the top platformers to grace mobile was, I think we can all agree, Doodle Jump. With its charming, inoffensive graphics and genuinely challenging gameplay, it was a great time, and its sequel, Doodle Jump 2+, delivers even more excitement. Now, if you haven't had the chance to try it yet, you can do so right away, as Doodle Jump 2+ has made its debut on Apple Arcade!
Doodle Jump is simple, deceptively so. You leap from platform to platform in a scribbled-out world while evading enemies and obstacles. Functionally, it's not that different from the original (a great platformer in its own right), but Doodle Jump 2+ offers a whole new suite of worlds to explore.
Whether you're exploring a Cavemen world packed with prehistoric creatures and obstacles, diving into the earth with the Mysterious Miner world to nab some gold, or venturing into the Space world with its moon cheese platforms, aliens, and rockets, there's plenty to keep you entertained. And, of course, being on Apple Arcade, it's all completely free if you're subscribed!
Jump for it
With its numerous spin-offs and pedigree on mobile, Doodle Jump may not have become the flagship release of some world-spanning studio, but it holds a fond place in the hearts of many players. Admittedly, it's taken a while for Doodle Jump 2+ to come to Apple Arcade, having launched back in 2020, but it's better late than never, right? Plus, if you sign up, there are plenty of other excellent games to enjoy.
