This is a stencyl made game right? It's your first game, so i'll cut you some slack. It can be made better, set the speed slower with the speed going faster. (Idk if you can do it with stencyl, but i know you can do it with game maker..) Add an intro to the obstacles and the story plot, put some effort into plot as well. Put a loading screen, and put some animations, jumping, dying, etc. The obstacles can be made better, i don't even know what those were. Put enemys that can kill you if you touch them, and a way to die not just from falling into the hole.

In this game you need to follow your way through a city destruction. WITH A VILLAIN! Yes and no, in this game do the test, you will just run and dodge, wait for the final version and answer sheet feedbacks if possible!
No menu screen, no kill screen, no score, no control or narrative explication or setup. Just drops you in and throws an obstacle at you. Also, should be set to 60fps for the speed sprites are moving.
There is an extreme lack of an apparent plot, making the game absolute nonsense. This a huge factor that separates the great games from the ones that belong in the bottom of the pile. There is a possibility of making this game worth playing, but to do that, you would need to make enormous changes.
The first change I would recommend would be the background. Its extreme lack of detail is very unappealing, so it would be good to put much more effort into that area. Because you really seem to have little experience, judging by the number of games you have created, you should ask for help from your fellow Newgrounders. You may find someone who can do much better in terms of art, and will willingly help you without any demands. (You should know that the graphics of the flying things are literally painful to see. No offence.)
Secondly, you should improve the interface, making the distance and score more visible. Also, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to add a pause menu to your game, otherwise it would be easy to die when the player is away from keyboard and that would just piss people off, getting you many negative comments.
Lastly, you should make the game more than just a platformer by adding items and upgrades as anyone can make a platformer these days. It is up to you whether you want yours to stand out and be put on a pedestal, or pushed aside like the rest of them.
There IS hope for this game -- which is quite contrary to the title of the game -- only if you make these and several other changes.
P.S. The 1 star I have given you is only me being generous. This gave only deserves about half a star.
