Lima Sky's Doodle Jump [99¢] has been consistently updated with new things since its inintial release in March of last year. The Doodler has jumped through holiday snow, Halloween graveyards, lush jungles, the vastness of space, the fields of the World Cup, and now he takes to the seas in a recent update. Also, the latest update which just hit the App Store adds high resolution Retina Display graphics for the original, space, and underwater theme with the rest coming soon:

Doodle Jump has been downloaded over 5 million times, and since its initial release has become a pop culture phenomenon with mentions on sitcoms, talk shows, and even appearing on the costumes of dancers at Lady Gaga concerts. If you've got an iPhone 4, make sure you grab the latest Doodle Jump update ASAP.

Doesn't the fact it's 'Doodle' mean it's meant to look rough around the edges!?

This game sucks. It's so f'n boring. I have no idea why there are so many people out there that rate this game 5 stars. It makes me very sad.

I like this game actually.
It's something I play when I'm too tired to play any in-depth RPGs and can't bother to go blast some monsters off with a shotgun.

I thought the same for a while, but I was wrong.
There are tons of games with the same mechanics, including Papi Jump that was probably the first, but Doodle Jump is somehow still the best one in terms of fun. And nowadays it's so filled of content that it's ridiculous - yes, they are mostly graphical re-skins, but still...
At 99c, it's a no brainer for me.

Amen brother! I love enjoying the simple things in life, but when there are so many good quick games out there, this one is a joke. It makes those SONY PSP commercials make sense.

As much as I enjoy this game I can never quite get past the 'doodle' naming of games. Here in Australia at least, besides meaning a sketch, 'doodle' is childish slang for a certain part of the male anatomy.

I see this in the top ten for the last year and it's confounding. Even if it was free, I wouldn't get it. The artwork is totally lame. It's scary to think that these people continue to get richer off this crap when there are so many more games that really deserve the attention. It's amazing how some games just catch on and refuse to die. LCD (lowest common denominator) is its full glory.

I really wish the worst on anyone who thinks this game is fun. It's a godawful piece of ugly junk with terrible aesthetics and zero real gameplay.
