The graphics are are very simple, and it doesn't really follow the theme, but the game has an interesting idea and is very challenging.

Nice theme interpretation, not exactly fitting but original! The platforming is a bit floaty though. Lots of fun!

It took me a while to get used to the jumping controls and physics. You took a very simple mechanic and refined the feel and balance.

I think speeding everything up (player movement and character spawning) would make the whole thing more exciting.  You may want to have the player sprite change to accurately reflect how many umbrellas they're holding (or at least show the player holding 0 when they are carrying 0), instead of always appearing to hold one.  Nice work!"},{"author_name":"Toccio","author_uid":"19997","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:06pm","epoch":1429826460,"text":"It's just that, the umbrella that he is carrying it's his personal umbrella!
