81JiGT5FoSL._SY300_.pngDoodle Jump
One of the hottest mobile games of all time - now optimized for Android by the same team that created the original version!
See for yourself why Touch Arcade called Doodle Jump “possibly the best [mobile] game ever created” and Macworld called it “a perfect micro-game, insanely addictive, and deliciously replayable.”
How high can you jump? Journey up a sheet of graph paper, perpetually jumping from one platform to the next, picking up jet packs, avoiding black holes, and blasting baddies with nose balls along the way. Laugh with delight as you blow past other players' actual score markers scribbled in the margins.
And be warned: this game is insanely addictive!
