某纽约用户表示Doodle Jump着实让人着迷，Doodle Jump的开发者Igor Pusenjak也认为该游戏具有很多讨人喜欢的特征。

该游戏由Igor Pusenjak和Marko Pusenjak共同开发，两兄弟是来自克罗地亚的移民。该游戏最终引爆了iphone手机应用程序商店，15个月全球下载量达到500万次，给Igor Pusenjak和Marko Pusenjak带来了超过350万美元的实际收益。

这可能对于全球的个人或者开发工作室来讲是一个极大的励志题材，他们依靠一款手机游戏便获得了极大的成功。

苹果应用程序商店目前总共有超过225000个应用程序，总下载量达到50亿次，而Doodle Jump可能是最受欢迎的应用程序之一。

From prime-time sitcoms to late-night TV to a fashion accessory for pop stars, Doodle Jump is everywhere, CBS News Correspondent Jeff Glor reports.

“It’s addicting,” one New Yorker said.

So what is it?

“It’s just a very lovable little character,” Igor Pusenjak, Doodle Jump’s creator, said.

It’s the brainchild of Pusenjak and his brother Marko Pusenjak, immigrants from Croatia. Last April, they had an idea inspired by their own, well, doodling. Their four-legged cartoon creation is always jumping up, guided by players’ hands, avoiding the bad monsters and UFOs and reaching the good trampolines.

Fifteen months later, it’s a cultural craze, and Igor Pusenjak said it’s made him a lot of money.

The game just passed the 5 million download mark for Apple’s iPhone, and since the brothers get 70 percent of profits, that’s $3.5 million.

“There’s this rags-to-riches story with developers where they can be on their own, not with a company, and create an application and that application can turn into Doodle Jump,” Boy Genius Report’s Jonathan Geller said.

As for advice on excelling at the game, Igor Pusenjak recommends slow movements. Players lose if Doodle falls, hardly what the Pusenjak brothers have done. Their rise is considered a success story spurred entirely by smartphone applications.

“There’s a Gold Rush mentality with the App Store now because it’s giving people access to something they didn’t have before,” Geller said.

By now, more than 225,000 iPhone apps have been downloaded a cumulative 5 billion times. Doodle might be the most famous app of all.

“We’ve had marriage proposals for Doodle,” said Igor Pusenjak. “I don’t think Doodle has responded yet because he’s looking for his princess somewhere up there.”

Doodle’s heading straight up and taking its founders along for the ride.
