   graphics are good, sound is a bit annoying over time. maybe some variations for the jump sound? (edit: or background music, if no iTunes is running).
   the gameplay is similar to doodle-jump... but something is missing... something special (in doodle jump it was the accelerator-control, and maybe the ability to shot at the same time by tapping).

   in my opinion the game starts to difficult... the jungle-man should rotate slower in the beginning and speed up if he gets higher. it is really frustrating if you fall every 2nd or 3rd try down after only 0 - 5 platforms.

   edit: and some variations in the gameplay (for example collectable powerups, (bananas, to jump higher for a limited time?)) could help to achieve a better play experience. ... or are they already in the game, and i didn't get far/high enough?
   regards

   Very useful comments! Thank you nf!

   You are right! I'll make some changes in sound & gameplay, as you told. I don`t have collectable powerups in current version, but have some good ideas and going to add on next updates! But I have bonuses, first is that small sun on the branch when you collect them you get +100 scores, and also i have monkey sitting on the branch, when sleeping kick the monkey you get +500 scores for each kick.

   Thank you again!

   Agree with nf. I would slow the guy down at first until you get some practice. Also I didnt really know what to do when I jumped into the game. I could launch the guy but it just so happened the first 3 times I launched him where he couldnt grab a tree... Maybe a quick popup or words on the background to tell me what im supposed to be doing.

   I think the graphics are pretty good but the jungle guy looks too bright or something. I get you want him to stand out, but something about him doesn't mesh very well in my eyes.

   The transitions and menus look really good. The text on the submit score to twitter and facebook is kind of hard to read on the iphone 4S. I figured it out, but the glowing effect might be a tad bit strong.

   Its a really tough game... which I dont mind. If you wanted to make it easier though, you could make the grabbing a new branch a little easier... seems like you have to be perfectly lined up to catch.

   Nice job though. Congrats on your release...

   Thank you adamfar! Noted everything!

   I was going to add popup/tutorial words, but I thought player after touching the screen would understand what to do. Sorry for being lazy :), I will fix this!

   About Jungle guy sprite, sorry I'm not a good artist :), I'm good at writing codes. But, I'm trying to do my best in game design. What exactly I shound change in jungle man sprite, or in other assets? I really appreciate if you give some advices. Also, it looks like I'll give Jugle Man some "drink" to slow him down :). But problem is that, jungle man's angular velocity and jump distance work together, so if I slow down the angular velocity he can`t reach the branch. But this is solvable problem, I'll teach him to grab the branch easier.

   I really spent much time on making grabbing algorithm/system and animation smooth as much as possible, and working on this right now.

   Thank you!

   Hey No worries... be proud of what you have done! Overall it still looks better than the majority of games in the store today! I am still working on improving my game and we released back in April.

   My suggestion for the man is to remove the brownish border around him and maybe thats all he needs... honestly im not sure, but he contrasts a lot with the dark background. I think it may be that the leaves look very very realistic, but the caveman looks like a 2D cartoon cut out.

   I like the way the suns look and even the parrot in your screen shot... but the monkey and jungle man look off.

   Sorry, wish I was more help. See what others say... im not an artist so take it for what its worth :)

    But problem is that, jungle man's angular velocity and jump distance work together

    slow the angular velocity down, and if the player taps the screen and the fixture is removed, just multiply the linear velocity by an nearly equal amount... i think this solution would need some tuning, but could work!

    The transitions and menus look really good

    yep, i agree with that. i like the transitions too. looking very polished.
