Sometimes you get in trouble for not liking a game enough. Or at least you're perceived as not liking a game sufficiently, even though you like it and point out the reasons why you don't like it as sufficiently as everyone else expects.

So it was with Flaboo!, the Doodle Jump-style game, that I thought in many aspects of its design was better than Doodle Jump.

Nevertheless I got in trouble for saying I marked it down slightly because it didn't have any social networking features. Developer Dene Carter (he of Fable fame), had mentioned this would be added in the first update, but as I wasn't reviewing the first update, what else could I do?

Anyhow, long story short, the update is now out and hence Flaboo! 1.1.0 comes with added OpenFeint providing the global leaderboards and the chat facilities it should have had at launch.

If you like Doodle Jump (and who doesn't), Flaboo! is well worth checking out. Get it now for 99c, €0.79 or 59p.
