Doodle Jump for iPad available now (Updated)

by Chris Rawson Sep 1st 2011 at 5:00PM

Doodle Jump, the wildly successful iPhone platforming game, is at last coming out with an iPad version. Doodle Jump for iPad should be launching on the App Store later today according to developer Lima Sky.

The game features the same addictive jumping and shooting gameplay as the iPhone original, but optimized for the iPad's much larger screen. The playing field is a great deal wider than that on the iPhone, both horizontally and vertically, which in my testing has meant I've been able to achieve much higher scores than anything I've gotten on the iPhone version.

It's a bit more awkward to tilt an iPad around than an iPhone, but it's still a lot of fun to play. I can tell what I'm going to be doing for the rest of today...

Lima Sky hasn't given us any word on pricing for the iPad version yet, but we'll update this post with that information after the app goes live on the App Store later today.

Update: Doodle Jump for iPad is available now for US$2.99.

How I see it, if doodle jump would have priced this at 69p /99c then it would have more people purchasing it, more money rolling in and it would have got higher up in the charts getting more publicity. $2.99 is a fail, even Angry Birds is cheaper.

Is Lima sky paying all the news outlets in big dollar sign bags? Really?

I don't get the bs with all the hoopla over this. The only difference is that you can turn it sideways and play it.

At least PopCap made a FEW ui changes, and Priced their HD version, at least initially, competitively.

This is a joke. A complete joke.

No thanks, the pricing is insulting. Doodle Jump was a good early game on iOS but there are plenty of good (and better) titles out now. If I feel the need to play it on iPad I'll just hit the x2 button instead.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I appreciate devs who release Universal titles much more. :(
