Windows Phone Thoughts: Xbox Live Game Doodle Jump Released

"Doodle Jump is the progenitor of the jumping game subgenre. It distills the essence of platformers - jumping onto platforms, avoiding death by falling, and defeating enemies - into a simpler game. Here players control Doodle Jumper by tilting the phone."

Windows Phone Marketplace is starting to reach critical mass, and we're getting a lot more choice in apps and games. Case in point is today's game, Doodle Jump, a simple platformer to while away the time. If this is your cup of tea, check it out - there's a free trial available, and purchasing the app will put you back $2.99.
