About Doodle Jump

Doodle Jump is scored in one number: how high you got. There is no level select, no stage clear and no win condition — the graph-paper world scrolls upward forever and the only thing that changes as you climb is how unforgiving the platform spacing becomes.

That makes it a game about consistency rather than reflexes. The bounce is automatic and always the same height. Everything you can influence happens sideways, in the air, before you land.

How to play

1. Steer left and right while the Doodler bounces automatically from platform to platform.
2. Climb as high as you can. Missing the platforms and dropping off the bottom of the screen ends the run.
3. Shoot upward to clear monsters that block the route.
4. Springs, hats and jetpacks skip you past whole stretches of the climb.

Tips

• Height is the only score, so treat every power-up as a shortcut to be taken when it is on your path — not one to detour for.
• Broken and moving platforms are worth planning around two jumps ahead, because you cannot change the bounce once you have landed.
• The left and right edges wrap. Deliberately exiting one side is a legitimate route, not a mistake.
• When the platforms thin out, stop steering aggressively and settle under the nearest one. Falling one platform is recoverable; overshooting into empty space is not.
• Black holes and UFOs cannot be shot. Those are the only threats you have to avoid rather than clear.
