Back in the day, one of the top platformers to grace mobile was, and I think we can all agree, Doodle Jump. With its charming, inoffensive graphics and genuinely challenging gameplay, it was a great time. Now, its sequel, Doodle Jump 2+, has arrived on Apple Arcade, bringing even more excitement to fans and newcomers alike.

Doodle Jump is deceptively simple. You leap from platform to platform in a scribbled-out world while evading enemies and obstacles. While functionally not that different from the original (which was a great platformer in its own right), Doodle Jump 2+ offers a whole new suite of worlds to explore.

Whether you're exploring the Cavemen world packed with prehistoric creatures and obstacles, diving into the earth with 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 to discover. And the best part? It's all completely free with an Apple Arcade subscription!

Jump for itWith its numerous spin-offs and 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 Doodle Jump 2+ launched back in 2020, its arrival on Apple Arcade means it's better late than never. Plus, with an Apple Arcade subscription, you'll have access to plenty of other excellent games to enjoy.
