I gave it a try for a few minutes. Here are my first impressions:

The initial load time was terrible. I'm not sure why, but after the splash screen, the screen turned black for well over a minute before the main menu appeared. Subsequent attempts at opening the game haven't reproduced the issue—the game started up just fine after the first time. (I was on Android. On a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running Lollipop.)

The game itself has potential. I like that there is a variety of obstacles to jump on and over. They all seem to fit within the game world. The mechanics are obvious and quickly accessible: jump or fall off and lose.

The double jump physics seem inconsistent. There were times that I couldn't double jump at all. Other times that the second jump would launch me to the top of the screen—much higher than seemed normal. Most of the time, though, it seemed to work as expected.

Normally, for a game where you're running and have to react to upcoming obstacles, having the phone in landscape orientation (sideways) works better so you have more time to see what's coming. There were many times that I didn't have time to properly react to where I was going to have to land next because my next obstacle wasn't onscreen at the time I needed to jump.
Related to that, there were many times that I would end up in seemingly impossible situations like two low rooftops followed by a bird so high in the air that I couldn't possibly reach it.

On the rooftop with the door and air conditioning unit, I was surprised to see the doorway wasn't something I could stand on. It has the same color scheme as the rest of the rooftop, but is non-collidable. It should probably either be colored differently to make it obvious that it's not something you can land on, or be removed entirely.

The roll after landing from a long fall is a nice touch and looks good, but it can't be interrupted. If I land in a way where I need to jump again quickly, but go into a roll, there's nothing I can do until the roll is finished—usually putting me right into the side of a building.

The climbing mechanic seems buggy. If I hit the side of a building or chimney that I'm supposed to be able to climb, spamming jumps will send me quickly to the top of the screen.

It's a good start, though. Some more polish and this could be really fun.

Woah, really REALLY appreciate such a nice, detailed, honest and kind feedback, its very nutritive, thanks mate.
Ill for sure take note on your recommendations and work on it! if you keep the app on your phone you will probably find some improvements soon!

The only weird thing i found was the rolling issue... its supposed to be stoppable , you can jump anytime while rolling, or at least it has shown to work like that on the different tested devices and simulators, ill try to figure out possible reasons

Hope you are great, take care mate!
