Graphics and music really great, I don't know if you made everything yourself but still a great work.
Very funny game!

I found it really funny and surprising how you don't know what to expect. The bad thing about this is sometimes you just get higher and suddenly you are death without doing something bad. The touch of the jetpacks and the flying japanese people is funny.

Love the game mechanics. I especially liked the "bonus" area at the end of a level.

Thanks a lot. Those bonus areas were my favorites. I would have liked to include more, but time beat me :)

Graphically, this game is nice and consistent, and it looks good. Kind of inappropriate for a game about a monster slaughtering innocent hang-gliders and turning them into stars, but I can look past that.
Occasionally, a flying sea mine (sky mine?) or beehive will approach too fast for me to conceivably react. You should probably stop that from happening.
If I jump off a platform and land on the trampoline from a great height, my jump height is mostly reset. That was annoying.
I'm pleased that there are platforms in the sky though. If there weren't, it would be a much more frustrating game.

Really nice job on making a nice and polished game. I really enjoyed everything a lot my only slight gripe would be that the bomb spawns sometimes seemed to prevent me from progressing at all. But overall a really awesome game.

Well packaged with the intro screen, credits, sound, graphics, smooth gameplay. But feels like a clone of existing games out there, to the point that it was just change the graphics of a template and drag and drop items, not much innovation. Maybe not too original, but looks like Construct 2 is a decent game engine.

Fun little game, Sometimes i die from dropping on top of the trampoline though. Maybe it's my fault but a small tutorial would be nice. xD

One thing I can assure you stahlmanDesign. This game was NOT made from a template. I have 4 year of experience as a game designer, 3 of them using Construct2. This 'decent game engine', as you called it, is so easy to use for a no programmer like me that you don't have the need to use a template when you can code everything from scratch in a short time. So your comment is completely misconceived. Apart from the jump mechanic that you could track back to Doodle Jump, this game have nothing that could qualify it as a clone. I'm curious to know what game are you exactly referring to.

Very polished entry! The character is very adorable and the music really sets the mood and encourages you to try over and over. It gets very hard to avoid bombs and bees you haven't seen before at a certain speed level but I guess that's the point!

Really simple in a good way - accessible and fun immediately, and it ran nice and smoothly. Good work!

Them monsters sure don't know how to beehive. >:(

The yay:
- overall presentation
- bonus areas

The nay:
- the trampoline was acting odd; sometimes I was standing on it, but when pressing up I'd jump as high as I'd normally bounced, anyway
- jetpack actually is a bit of a trouble once it wears off, as you can't gradually learn the obstacles to avoid with subsequent jumps

Rather solid entry overall, but a bit buggy (and I don't mean the bees). ^^"

Very cool concept with a nice twist! :)
In Firefox it had no sound, I really don't know why, had to play on Chrome.

Hooked me in immediately. Great and simple mechanic with the right look and sound. A bit of fine tuning and some achievements, and it's ready for market. My score: Peeps(67) Distance(11,495)

Simple and fun, controls felt good. The speed increase was a little too fast for my taste.

Really great game! Well polished with simple mechanics. Audio and graphics are fantastic, and I enjoy the lighthearted feel of this game.
If this were released on iOS or Andriod I think it would be a hit!

Great graphics and overall fun. A "happy monster" theme for a change. I could get the music to play?

Great Entry!
