New York - March 9, 2010
Lima Sky today announced that Doodle Jump has now sold over
three million copies on the iTunes App Store. Lauded by leading
iPhone games blog Touch Arcade as “possibly the best iPhone
game ever created,” Doodle Jump has occupied the #1 top paid
app spot in the US, UK, Germany, Australia and many other
countries. Doodle Jump is played over 5 million times a day,
justifying the title’s accompanying advisory, “BE
WARNED: Insanely Addictive.”
With over 1.6 million units sold in 2010 alone, Doodle Jump
currently stands as the best selling app of the year. Apple
selected the game in its “Best Games of 2009” shortlist
and Macworld.com rated it 4.5 mice, calling it “a perfect
micro-game, insanely addictive, and deliciously replayable." Wired
selected Doodle Jump for “Wired’s 20 Favorite iPhone
Apps of 2009” and Slide to Play proclaims that “Doodle
Jump epitomizes the microgame ideal.” Lima Sky has provided
more than 25 free updates to provide fresh content to the app.
"Selling over three million copies of Doodle Jump is beyond our
wildest expectations," noted Igor Pusenjak, President and Founder
of Lima Sky. "We have to thank our incredible fanbase for their
undying support, none of this would be possible without their
help."
In Doodle Jump, players guide a lovable character, Doodle The
Doodler, on his journey up a sheet of graph paper. Using some of
the most subtle and accurate tilt controls in existence, players
help Doodle The Doodler spring up to towering heights. Along his
way up, Doodle The Doodler can pick up jet packs, must avoid black
holes, and occasionally blast baddies with nose balls as he jumps
from platform to platform.
Doodle Jump is available now for $0.99 on the iTunes App
Store
