Apps 4 Itouch

By looking through the AppStore, I came through a game called DoodleJump created by LimaSky. Obviously the game developers must have been inspired by Sunflats' classic PapiJump. I've had PapiJump on my Ipod long before I came across DoodleJump, so was familiar with the game-play, graphics & what-not. I was ready to leave the Appstore & not purchase Doodlejump as it was $0.99 & PapiJump was free, but I was attracted to something about the game. It seemed "Better", & "Cooler", so eventually I downloaded the App.

Once I got to try out the app, I was stunned by its game-play. It was.....amazing. There weren't & still aren't any words to describe it. Everything about the App is so simple, that's why it's so enjoyable to play. The graphics are by far more enjoyable to play with while playing DoodleJump than PapiJump. I also enjoy DoodleJumps' enhancements far more than PapiJumps'. It seems like DoodleJumps' graphics were doodled on a piece of paper while in the middle of class. With this game being so successful, PapiJump doesn't stand a chance.

The game play's exactly the same as PapiJump with the same feel & accelerometer sensitivity.Tilting your Iphone/Itouch to the left & right adjusts' the characters movement. By Jumping on the small platforms above the character you travel higher & higher.

In DoodleJump, brown platforms break so you better watch out for those. Where as platforms with Springs, Trampolines, & Jetpacks get you higher, resulting in more points for you. You definitely want to try & get onto one of those. Once you get higher & higher you will start to encounter "Blackholes", "UFO's", & "Monsters. These things all "Kill" you, so you definitely want to either shoot them by tapping your screen or avoid them.

Another great feature DoodleJump added was the Highscores which appear at the right side of the screen while playing. As you ascend you can see the last 100 High scores achieved by various people. This is nice since you can see who's beating you & what point you need to reach to beat them. Once you miss a platform & lose, you have the chance to post you score to Facebook & Twitter for all your other friends to see. One last thing I like about this application is that it allows the User to change the levels. This means the User can change to other levels, for example, "The Jungle", "A Snowstorm", "A paper which was doodled on (Original)", "Space", etc...
