Doodle Jump Goes Retina on iPhone 4

Submitted by on August 21, 2010 – 5:47 am372 Comments

No real news here – unless you are a huge Doodle Jump fan (one of the highest selling iphone apps of all time – and one of the biggest time sinks of all time).

Yesterday Doodle Jump released the newest version of their app such that it is compatible with iPhone 4 and the retina display. That’s the news – which is not why I am writing this… Rather, I was struck by how crisp and clear the imagery is. For iPhone 4 users (and to a lesser extent iPad users), graphics and web browsing looks great – thanks in part to apple and in part to designers / developers.

This is the welcome screen from the new Doodle Jump game – it’s gorgeous. And you’re probably not viewing it on an iPhone 4 screen. Its like looking at a zoomed in adobe illustrator font vs. a non-true-type font.

It is also interesting how developers are now using retina display optimized graphics as a selling point.
