Doodle Jump & Froggy Jump
When it comes to game addiction I’m pretty much the worst of the worst….and then I found these jump games for iPhone. Aiyaiyai. The concept is simple – tilt the phone to move the character and bounce on the platforms to get as high (pun intended) as possible. Having a few mates that are always trying to beat your score is also incentive enough to keep playing.
Doodle Jump has been around for a long time. Really I have no excuse for not buying this game sooner, as its always in the top 25 best paid games of all time. Doodle Jump starts off easy enough. There are lots of platforms and the occasional monster may pop up to try and kill your little…I don’t know what the hell you play as…alien? Tapping the screen makes our alien fire bullets out of its…nose? Mouth? This alien is odd indeed. Anyway the bullets can kill the monsters or you can jump on their head to kill them too. As you progress you will come across more challenges like exploding platforms, black holes in the background and platforms that you have to position before you can jump on them.
Doodle Jump. What exactly is this thing?
High scores in Doodle Jump are submitted via the Facebook in app login. I don’t mind this but prefer services like OpenFeint that don’t require a Facebook account.
Froggy Jump seems to have more features than Doodle Jump and at the bargain price of free it is definitely great value! Reaching certain height milestones in Froggy Jump unlocks different themes. So far I have only unlocked 3 themes but one (Inferno) has the benefit of having ledges that normally drop or disintegrate hang around for a few more jumps. There are also items you collect on your way to the top in the form of special word letters and coins. Collect all the letters of the special word or 1000 coins and you’re rewarded with a diamond. Gather enough diamonds and you can purchase even more customized items/upgrades for your frog. Alternatively you can buy diamonds via an in-app purchase.
Skeleton Froggy is unlocked after reaching 52k
In contrast with Doodle Jump your frog doesn’t have a weapon to fire at enemies. Instead, a tap of the screen will trigger use of a held rocket that blasts your frog into the air; a technique that when timed right will prevent him from certain death. I prefer this “lifeline” to the shooting perk offered in Doodle Jump. Froggy Jump utilizes the awesomeness of OpenFeint. This will allow you to share your high scores with your friends, unlock achievements, and connect via Facebook and Twitter to post updates.
Both these games are highly enjoyable and addictive. If there is anything I don’t like about them it’s that they can drain your battery way too quick!

Tomy Mr. Mouth Game…
Catapulting insects has never been so much fun! Little ones will delight in flicking bugs into this frog’s mouth. But that hyper hopper will not stay still! His mouth keeps opening and closing while his eyes wiggle and his head spins round and round. …
