Doodle Jump Recreated in HTML5 ...with source

player.isDead = "lol";

I'm not a legal professional but even though the author claims that the "logic and graphics" have been created by scratch, doesn't that make no difference to the fact that he's almost (the movement isn't as nice) recreated someone else's stuff verbatim and is claiming that it's now open source?

Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice job and all, but with just a few drops of creative thought the author could be on his way to creating his own ideas instead of imitating others.

Fun way to play the game: try just holding the right arrow key down at the beginning. Since there doesn't seem to be a limit on horizontal velocity, it's kinda like you're on multiple horizontal positions at once. You can still fall down, but you if you actually control the horizontal speed somewhat, you can make it pretty far.

Cool, but it needs some music!

Oops! I didn't know the game got HN'ed. I was improving the details adding license info, you can find them there now.
