While Doodle Jump was a very popular game of this style, spawning multiple clones and even an Android/iOS remake of Sonic Jump, this actually came out four years before it.

Sonic automatically jumps and you have to steer him up all the platforms to the top of the level. The bottom of the screen means death, so you can’t fall down very far. As you get through the levels, more kinds of platforms will crop up: moving platforms, collapsing platforms, spiked platforms, as the game gets more difficult. The controls, however, feel fluid, so it doesn’t feel frustrating when you fail, and practice will help you through the more difficult sections.

This is a great little game, so it’s good that it got a remake.
