I met a monster from a paper land,
Who said—“Two thin and trunkless legs of lead
Jump on the trampoline. . . . Near them, on the paper,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose stare,
And extended lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Doodler, Jumper of Jumpers;
Look on my Leaps, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Tear, boundless and bare
The lone and level lead stretch far away.”

The first iOS game I got. A classic. Spent a good amount of hours over the years getting higher and higher scores. The different maps were really fun, and their assorted mechanics kept things fresh. Got a bit in-app-purchase-y to me towards the latter additions, like pirate upgrades and ninja upgrades with coins, but still fun.
Doodle Jump, the cosmic ballet of pure rage and determination! A masterpiece of frustration as you watch your doodle buddy hop and bop, relentlessly aiming for the sky. The rage-fueled hours clocked in, not just on the game but also monitoring them through the lens of TF2. It's not a game; it's a declaration of war against your own sanity. The simplicity hides a deep well of obsession, where beating high scores becomes a sacred quest. Give it 10 more years, and I'll ascend to the heights of gaming glory, leaving my rivals in the dust. 9/10 because the true battle has just begun.
