Doodle Jump “Christmas Special” Now Available

The trend in the App Store these days is to release “Christmas Editions” of apps. While I wouldn’t know about  “Twitterrific: Santa’s Tweets” and “Instapaper: Christmas Reading” special versions, it seems like the strategy is quite working for games. Otherwise, why would Rovio bother releasing a “Season” version of Angry Birds?

Lima Sky is the latest development team to follow the trend and release Doodle Jump Christmas Special at $0.99 in the App Store. The game is simply a remix of the original Doodle Jump with just a new background and a few Christmas-themed enemies, but boy it looks cute. It’s got Retina Display-ready graphics and all the Game Center features seen in the standard edition.

Doodle Jump Christmas Special is available now at $0.99 in the App Store.
