Back in the day, one of the top platformers to grace mobile was, I think we can all agree, Doodle Jump. With charming, inoffensive graphics and some genuinely challenging gameplay, it was a great time, and its sequel delivered even more so. Now if you haven't had the chance to try it yet you can do so right as Doodle Jump 2+ comes to 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 in Doodle Jump 2 you'll have access to a whole new suite of worlds to explore.
Whether that's exploring a Cavemen world packed with prehistoric creatures and obstacles, diving into the earth with the Mysterious miner world to nab yourself some gold, or even Space world and its moon cheese platforms, aliens and rockets. And, of course, being on Apple Arcade it's all completely free! Well, if you're subscribed, that is.
With its numerous spin-offs and pedigree on mobile, although Doodle Jump may not have become the flagship release of some world-spanning studio, I think it has a fond place in the hearts of many players. Admittedly, it's a long time for it to be coming to mobile, with Doodle Jump 2 having launched all the way 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.
And if you're looking for more top launches on mobile, look no further. Just take a gander at the latest entry in our regular feature offering you the top five new mobile games to try this week! Featuring the best launches from the last seven days in virtually every genre.
