Doodle Jump is an endless vertical climber. Your character bounces automatically off each platform it lands on, and you steer left and right to line up the next one. Fall past the bottom of the screen and the run is over.
You never control the jump itself, only your horizontal position. Every decision is about where you will be when you come down.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you control when the character jumps?
- No. The bounce is automatic on landing, and your only input is horizontal movement, so the skill is entirely in positioning.
- Can you go off the side of the screen?
- Yes. Leaving one edge brings you back on the opposite side, and using this wrap deliberately is often the quickest way to reach a platform.
- How does the game end?
- By falling below the bottom of the screen after missing a platform. There is no finish line, only how high you manage to climb.
