Doodle Jump is a 2009 platformer video game developed and published by Igor and Marko Pušenjak, who make up the Croatian studio Lima Sky. The game was released for Windows Phone, iOS, BlackBerry, Android, Java Mobile, Nokia Symbian, and Xbox 360 for the Kinect.[2] It was released worldwide for iOS on April 6, 2009, Android and Blackberry on March 2, 2010, Symbian on May 1, 2010, Windows Phone 7 on June 1, 2011,[3] the iPad on September 1, 2011, and Windows Phone 8 on August 21, 2013.[4][5] Since its release, the game has been generally well received.

Doodle Jump was renowned for its selling rate by App Store standards, which counted 25,000 copies sold daily for four consecutive months, later overtaken by Angry Birds. As of December 2011, the game sold 10 million copies over iTunes and Google Play.[6] The game has been transformed into a video redemption game at arcades.[7] Igor and Marko Pusenjak are the authors of Doodle Jump,[8] where Igor works from a New York-based address while Marko resides in Croatia.[9] In July 2016, Lima Sky announced a partnership with Skillz to develop a tournament-playable version of the game.[10]

On December 20, 2020, Doodle Jump 2 was released on the App Store.[11]
