Doodle Jump gets a Retina Display update

Doodle Jump has released a free update, available now, that not only brings out that underwater content that Igor Pusenjak promised us in that interview a little while back, but also updates the graphics on the app to take full advantage of the iPhone 4's Retina Display, so you can see the little doodle jumping up those platforms clearer and sharper than ever. Only three stages have been updated with Retina Display graphics so far, but Pusenjak says that "the rest of the Retina Display graphics is almost done and we'll be releasing it soon!" The update is of course free for the game's owners, or you can pick up the "Insanely Addictive" title for just 99 cents.

Pusenjak also told us that after the water-related content was done and out, the iPad version of the app would be next up for development, so we'll keep an eye out for news on that soon. Good to see that just because this little game is so popular, its developers aren't taking success lying down.

The underwater theme has already been released in a previous update.

My first comment is that this update happened yesterday, so I am at a loss to figure out why people are complaining about TUAW being so slow.

My second comment is bemusement over commentors complaining about a 99 cent app that is frankly pretty fun, and gives away new goodies regularly.

My third comment is to observe that I think TUAW is a nice little blog for the Apple aficionado, but that most of the readers who bother to leave comments are mean-spirited crybabies. I mean, Jeez, people, get a life already. If you hate this blog so much, do us all a favor and go read something else. Maybe start your own damn blog since you know better. Best of luck to you.

Scott-- I agree. It's weird that the writers have such a simple, friendly approach, but so many of the comments are effortfully negative. I think there is a bit of a bullying culture that has developed among the commentators. I hope it stops, because the writers of this blog are doing a good job at exactly what they do.

Simplicated

Am I reading last week's blog or something? You're late again, TUAW...

I really miss the days when TUAW was timely.

I always thought this game was soooooo boring and overrated.

I agree 100%. I really don't understand why people think this game is any fun. I was totally bored with it after 5 minutes. I kept waiting for the game to do something different.
