Back in the day, one of the top platformers to grace mobile was, I think we can all agree, Doodle Jump. With its charming, inoffensive graphics and genuinely challenging gameplay, it was a great time, and its sequel has delivered even more excitement. Now, if you haven't had the chance to try it yet, you can do so as Doodle Jump 2+ is the latest addition to Apple Arcade!

Doodle Jump is deceptively simple. You leap from platform to platform in a scribbled-out world while evading enemies and obstacles. While the core mechanics remain similar to the original (a great platformer in its own right), Doodle Jump 2+ offers a whole new suite of worlds to explore.

Whether you're exploring a Cavemen world packed with prehistoric creatures and obstacles, diving into the earth in the Mysterious Miner world to nab some gold, or venturing into the Space world with its moon cheese platforms, aliens, and rockets, there's plenty of variety. And, of course, being on Apple Arcade, it's all completely free if you're subscribed!

Jump for itWith its numerous spin-offs and a strong mobile pedigree, Doodle Jump may not have become the flagship release of a world-spanning studio, but it holds a fond place in the hearts of many players. Although it took some time to come to Apple Arcade, with Doodle Jump 2+ having launched back in 2020, it's definitely a case of better late than never. Plus, if you sign up, you'll have access to plenty of other excellent games to enjoy.
