Jumpy Green by markusfisch

A little green alien tries to get astronauts off his small world.
Get rid of Buck Rodgers by jumping high when he's on the opposite side of the world. If jump high enough, he'll be thrown off your world and get lost in space again.

Took a while to figure out how to get past the first few dudes once they spawned on the opposite sides of the planet, but once i figured out how to jump over them (and not get shot lol) i made it to wave 8!
Could use some sound effects or ambience but other than that a neat little entry that could be build upon.
It would need some music and sound effect to make it more engaging.
I really like the concept: I thought It was funny. I also really like the graphics! Good job!
Wish I had a more direct way to mess with the astronauts as they descended towards my planet.
I like the run animation.
The only thing i didn't like was the clunky camera move when jumping and the instant landing of an astronaut when jumping on the same place. It felt strange, but i also don't know a better way to punish player for spamming the jump button.
Some simple sound effects would be awesome, too.
I would like some sort of score or timer to see how well I've done to have a motivation to do better.
One thing I didn't like was that I couldn't see the other end of the globe at all times. Maybe it's my setup though.
