It shaped smartphone gaming in the early days of the App Store. Today, it's available on nearly every capable mobile device. It may even be lurking at your local arcade (http://www.segaarcade.com/doodlejump).

Next month, a Kinect version of Lima Sky's runaway hit, Doodle Jump (http://www.joystiq.com/game/doodle-jump), could be coming to Xbox Live Arcade, according to a recent Australian ratings classification and evidence uncovered by self-proclaimed Xbox Live Marketplace watchdog, "Lifelower."

The Australian Classification Board confirms Smoking Gun Interactive as the developer behind the upcoming Doodle Jump for Kinect (http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/View.aspx?sid=T6fg%2bxMiruk8tJ2potaY4A%253d%253d&ncdctx=8TVts6mr140MOJgDZV9K1qKx0HqbfjG2A616RilN1jV qawLmVA0tWHsHBG9lWpXU). Lifelower, meanwhile, has obtained boxart (https://twitter.com/lifelower/status/340391940434571264) and a gallery (http://www.flickr.com/photos/90564205@N08/8899354703/lightbox/) of purported screenshots, suggesting that the game is nearing completion. Lifelower expects the game to launch near the end of June at 400 Microsoft points.

A Kinect adaptation of Doodle Jump was first announced back in 2011 (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/15/doodle-jump-drawn-to-kinect-release/) when creator Lima Sky outlined its plans for expansion after surpassing 10 million paid downloads on mobile platforms. We've reached out to developer Smoking Gun Interactive for more information.
