About This Game
Doodle Jump is a vertical platformer where you guide a bouncing character upward by moving left and right. Land on platforms to keep bouncing, avoid falling, and climb as high as you can!
Controls
Arrow Keys / A, D to move, tilt or touch on mobile, P to pause, R to retry.
Tips & Strategy
Stay near the center of the screen to give yourself room to move in either direction. Platforms at the edges wrap around — if you move off the left side, you appear on the right. Prioritize landing on stable green platforms over moving ones. Avoid brown platforms — they break on contact. Springs launch you much higher, so aim for them when you see them. Don't rush sideways movement; small adjustments are better than large swings.
Game Features
- Multiple platform types: static, moving, breakable, spring-loaded
How Scoring Works
Your score is based on the maximum height you reach. Each platform you bounce on moves you higher, and your score increases with altitude. There are no bonus points for specific platform types — pure height determines your score. Your best height is saved locally.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I control the character?
Use the left and right arrow keys (or A/D) to move horizontally. The character bounces automatically — you just need to steer. On mobile, tilt your device or use touch controls.
What are the different platform types?
Green platforms are stable and always safe. Blue platforms move horizontally. Brown platforms break when you land on them. White platforms with springs launch you extra high. As you climb, you'll encounter more challenging platform combinations.
Does the game ever end?
The game is endless — it continues until you fall below the screen. The goal is to climb as high as possible and beat your personal best score.
