Doodle Jump 2.0 Adds Multiplayer

Following a series of updates that added “special edition” levels, Game Center achievements and a brand new version of the app featuring movie character Hop, Doodle Jump 2.0 was released last night with a highly requested feature: WiFi multiplayer. The new Doodle Jump doesn’t have any new levels or enemies, but it comes with Game Center integration for online multiplayer. The feature only works over WiFi with your Game Center friends; you’ll have to race to the top to see who reaches the finish line first, all in pure Doodle Jump fashion while jumping on platforms and avoiding obstacles.

Doodle Jump is one of the most popular games for the iPhone, and we’re still waiting for a proper iPad 2 counterpart to land on the App Store. In the meantime, if you’ve always wanted to compete with your friends in a Doodle Jump race, you can get the update here.
