That's Sonic Jump Fever.
The 0.9.0 update to Minecraft PE has a pretty serious memory leak, which is especially troublesome on older devices. One of the developers (@_tomcc) tweeted yesterday, that a fix would be included in 0.9.1, and will likely be released next week. Until then, you can avoid crashes by setting the "View Distance" slider in the graphics settings to the 1st or 2nd setting.
