Doodle Jump is a simple, yet clean and well-designed mobile game. As indicated in the name, the game’s art consists of things that look like doodles. The somewhat crude and simplistic drawings that constitute the art in the game create a childish and laid back feel. The game is meant to have a playful and non-threatening atmosphere, and the art direction that the creators chose definitely accomplished that. The game consists of a tiny doodle character that automatically bounces on what seem to be lily pads. These lily pads extend vertically upwards, and the player can keep rising higher and higher by bouncing upwards from lily pad to lily pad. The objective of the game is to get to the highest point possible. There are also random “power ups” on the lily pads that cause for greater vertical movement. For example, there are springs on some of the lily pads that when jumped on will boost the player twice as high as a regular lily pad. There are also far more extreme things like a jetpack that will launch the player upwards for a few seconds. The mechanics of the game are very simple. In order to move from side to side while jumping, the player tilts the device from side to side. The player can also tap the screen anywhere above the doodle character to fire off a tiny ball in the direction he or she tapped. This can come in handy when enemies are encountered. These enemies must be avoided or shot, because running into them will cause the player to fall. There isn't any level advancement, but the lily pads, enemies, and upgrades are completely randomized each time a game is started. Doodle Jump is a very enjoyable game for people of all ages, and it truly shines in its simple mechanics complimented with its simple art direction.
