I like the music and overall polish and consistency to the art. Try adding feedback to when he gets hit though, other than a sound effect. Keep up the good work!

Cool tower defense game. A bit uninteresting turn on the theme but it's well made nonetheless.

I found it way to satisfying to hit them double head jumps!

The music and polish is nice. It took me a little bit to find the controls though.

Very repetitive, but oddly addicting. Would have been more interesting if you had more kinds of enemies and upgrades. I survived till level 10.

The game progresses rather slow.
The game play is very fun at first, but quickly grows repetitive over about 8 levels.

Love the music as well as the art.

Overall pretty fun!
I enjoyed the music greatly and the art was not bad!
Like mentioned by others, some more feedback would have been good, but well made!
Look up the "Juicing up your Game" talk for more info on feedback related things!

Fun! I was so happy the first time I hit two guys with one jump, and then when I first chained two bounces together. A bit slow early on but really fun in later levels when you can continuously chain bounces.

Addicting! Made it to level 10 on my first try. Wish there were more items and enemy types. Good stuff!

STAY AWAY FROM MY DOOR!! NO, MY DOOR! YOU ARE THE REAL MONSTERS!

Nice and polished, but ramped up a bit too slow. Fun once it going though!

Loved the double hit ability ^^
I agree with other about it being slow at first. Nice feel, overall.

Quite simple, but very nicely done. The graphics and animations are clean, the jump mechanic is good, the progression is ok.
The monster is a bit slow to keep up with the flow of soldiers at the end, so some speed power ups would be a nice addition.

I reached level 8 before understanding that I should not use the guns to kill the guards but rather take advantage of the knockback effect. Not very original and you don't feel like the monster, but smooth graphics and bouncing was enjoyable. I would have liked to see some clouds or something else though =).

Can only agree to the others. Surprisingly nice game, very smooth animations and the graphics are so cute! The take on the theme does indeed lack a bit of innovation, but since I myself know how hard it can be to come up with something awesome I don't think it is too bad. Well done!

Art seems simplistic but they fit, mesh very well with the music and sounds, controls are smooth and overall gamefeel feels good.
