Wrestle Jump by Otto-Ville Ojala
Hilarious and easy to learn two player game on a single screen!
Five star reviews:
"By far the best iOS one screen multiplayer I've played."
"Haven't had this fun two-player action since Joust in the arcades."
"My wife and I wrestle jump all over the place."
"Holy cow we had a blast playing this on our iPad!"
The rules of the game are simple: to score, smash your opponent's head to the ground! You control your wrestler by pushing just one button!

TWO PLAYERS on a single device
Easy to learn ONE BUTTON CONTROLS
Super fun PARTY GAME for all ages
Simple but ADDICTIVE gameplay
Lots of CRAZY LEVELS including slippery ice levels
ENDLESS MODE for those who just can't get enough
WIND feature for more variety
Record, watch and share REPLAYS
LOW GRAVITY for the astronaut trainees
Challenging SINGLE PLAYER MODE
No In-App Purchases

veecheech & Gabrien, as Gabrien mentioned Wrestle Jump cannot be downloaded onto iPod Touch 3g for now. iPod Touch 4g support will be added soon, though.
You're welcome. I did it because you finnish guys are also responsible for Liero, another DOS favorite of mine.
I agree on your point that a four player mode will turn it into something else completely. That's two different ways to go - a good game-as-it-is, without many options to change the gameplay, or something really deep and customizable.
You could of course have a "simple" game mode, and then a seperate "custom game" mode where the fun stuff begins.

Nah, but you get my point. Moi Mokulat!

Redegard, yeah I get your point

I think I'm going to keep the game really simple for now as I think it's a part of its charm. But some more gameplay changing options will be featured in the next versions.
And I'm glad to tell you guys that the iPod Touch 4th generation problems are solved now! Thanks to oooooomonkey for testing the test builds! The update containing the fix (among other small tweaks) will be submitted to App Store within 24 hours.

Just have to come and express my love for this game, since getting my iPod4G 2 years ago there's only been 4 games so far that have earned a permanent place on my device because of there crazy physics based gameplay. (Super trick snowboarder, puncho fighto, fight drunk 3D and stair dismount) and now Wrestle jump.
The gameplay is so simple, just one button to kick out your leg and it works so well. While the single player is great for a quick pick up n play game It really comes to life in multiplayer (same device) you both have one button on either side of the screen and you just have to hit the other persons head into the ground or wall to score a point.
The graphics are really nice and crisp with bright colours.
Don't know what else to say its just good fun to play.

Otto (can I call you that?), is there any chance you'd consider adding an online multiplayer mode like I mentioned in an earlier post? I'd love to be able to whoop Gabrien's ass left, right and center in some Wrestle Jump.

Yes, online multiplayer mode is something I'm considering for future projects - maybe even Wrestle Jump!

But in the near future Wrestle Jump is probalby just going to get more levels, some minor tweaks and Game Center achievements. And yea, Otto is my name

What an awesome game. Really simple controls, yet the gameplay gets never boring. And I agree with the previous comments: more content + 4 player mode!

How is it possible that a simple game like this can be so much fun xD i played single-player and enjoyed it a lot. Yesterday I've played it with a friend and after a few seconds he said that this is a great game

can't wait for GC-Achievements. And an online GC-multiplayer would be perfect.. even as a IAP, I will buy it without a second thought!

Yeah, honestly I
still don't get it. I don't think I've ever come across an app that is so enticing despite how simple it is. Even after playing this every day for over a week, it still feels like every time I play it is the first time. Such a great, great game.
