In Doodle Jump, the goal is to guide a four-legged, duster-like creature, whose name is Doodle, on a path across an endless series of platforms without falling. Players can get a short jolt from various objects such as propeller hats, jetpacks, rockets, springs or trampolines. There are also monsters and UFOs that Doodler must shoot at or jump on them, eliminating them. Shooting is done by tapping on different parts of the screen. There is no end game, but the end of each game occurs when the player falls (upon reaching the bottom of the screen), gets hit by a monster, gets involved in a black hole, or is abducted by a UFO. The newest updated version of Doodle Jump: Deluxe allows players to choose between versions of the game (Normal, Graveyard, Christmas, Jungle, Space, World Cup, Easter, Underwater, Halloween, Ninja, Arctic, or Pirate Ship.) without changing their name.
