Lima Sky has released a new version of Doodle Jump, the company’s immensely addictive puzzle platformer for iOS devices whose control scheme involves using the iPhone’s accelerometer through tilts. Doodle Jump 2.0 brings multiplayer to fans of the game, allowing those with a Game Center account to go head to head with fellow doodlers.

According to Lima Sky, Doodle Jump is one the of all-time top selling iPhone apps, the king of casual games, the most addictive App Store game (although Angry Birds fans will beg to differ), and quite possibly the best iPhone game ever made.

In Doodle Jump, players guide Doodle the Doodler on a journey up a sheet of graph paper, picking up jet packs, avoiding black holes, and blasting enemies with nose balls along the way.

Players must use subtle yet accurate tilt controls to see Doodle the Doodler blow past other players' score markers scribbled in the margins.

Now, “Doodle Jump MULTIPLAYER RACE update is here and it is FREE,” Lima Sky is proud to announce.

In Doodle Jump 2.0 for iPhone and iPod touch (HD iPad version not available yet), you “race against your Game Center friends over Wi-Fi to see who can reach the finish line first!”

Game features include:

- 8 incredible worlds + 3 SECRET easter eggs - broken, moving, disappearing, moveable, and EXPLODING platforms - JET PACKs, PROPELLER HATS, ROCKETS, and springs that fly you higher - UFOs, black holes, monsters! - jump on monsters to bring them down MARIO-style - Submit score to Facebook & Twitter - Compete agains Facbook friends! - Global leaderboards, achievements!

Doodle Jump is the winner of an Apple Design Award for excellence in design, user experience, innovation, performance, technology adoption, and quality, according to its makers.

The game is compatible with all iOS devices and requires iOS 3.0 or later to run. Doodle Jump 2.0 is a free update for all existing users. For those who haven’t downloaded the game yet, it costs $0.99.
