Monsters – there are seven different types of monsters which the player must shoot at, jump on top of, or avoid in order to not be knocked down and sent to the 'game over' screen.

There are a several obstacles the Doodler must evade in the game: Alternatively, you may put the names of one of the pocket god pygmies for your name, as the Doodler will become one. Also recently added with the latest update was the Easter version, which can be played by entering the name 'bunny' for your name. The newest updated version of the game lets players choose between versions of the game (Normal, Halloween, Christmas, Rain Forest, Underwater, Space, Ninja, Pirate, Snow or World Cup) without changing their names. There is no definitive end to the game, but the end for each gameplay happens when you fall (by reaching the bottom of the screen), jump into a monster, get sucked into a black hole, or abducted by a UFO.

You can aim your shot by tapping on different parts of the screen, sending a laser in the direction of your finger.

There are also monsters that the Doodler has to shoot or jump on to eliminate. Players can get a short boost from various objects, such as propeller hats, jetpacks, rockets, springs or trampolines. Players tilt the device from side to side to move the Doodler in the desired direction. In Doodle Jump, the aim is to guide a four-legged creature called the Doodler up an unending series of platforms without falling.
