People are dying for the heat!
You are the umbrella man, it's your duty to save them!
And how? By selling them your umbrellas, of course!
So go save lifes, make gold, and use it to buy the amazing gold umbrella!

How to play:

Use Arrows to move.
Touch the poor people dying for the heat to sell them your umbrellas,
but be aware of the number of umbrellas that you are currently carrying!
When you run out of umbrellas just go to recharge them in the bottom left corner!

This game is frustratingly fun. I wanted to stop but I couldn't. 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. Overall I really liked it.

That's very cute! Like the upgrade system

Nooooo the game crashed at the day 5! Man, the upgrade system is really keeping you focused ont the game, you always want to go further.

Some ideas for other upgrades :
- Moar Speed !
- More time before customers disappear.

Nice one.

This is pretty addicting. Nice theme interpretation, not exactly fitting but original! The platforming is a bit floaty though. Lots of fun! Umbrellas left text could be more visible, I didn't see it for a while haha

Very funny and addictive. Works well. However, the moves, jumps and collisions are reeeeeeally too sluggish. I persevered and bought the golden umbrella though!

Very well balanced gameplay (as far as spawn times and speed) and upgrade system! 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. Good job!

I'm really happy that you enjoyed it!
I'm sorry for the bad physics, but it was my first platform since a long time, so i did my best xD!
Love you all <3!

(I know that the number of the umbrellas left is not so visible, but i remembered to add it when the "hud" was already done!)

I've uploaded a new version with the jump fixed! Now it's almost like a real jump XP

This is a cool basis for an addicting game. 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!

Nice job!
The upgrade shop is a good idea.

The enemy is the sun, the weapon is the umbrella. Very cute twist.

A little slow/floaty movement and jumping. But I had fun for the time I was playing. Good Job!

Such a fun simple concept! I really enjoyed playing :D The movement was a bit tricky at times but that can also be part of the challenge.

I loved it! Played way more of this little game than any other game added so far! Its tough, but seems to stay at the same pace the whole time, and needs a bit of a speed up as you get more umbrellas to hold. Individual names were a fantastic detail.

Pleasant little game. Doesn't quite scale or escalate enough to want to keep playing to the gold umbrella.
