It looks awesome!
May I ask what all tools/frameworks you used to build Rocket Jump?
Thanks. I used Unity3d, Visual Studio, C# language, Inkscape and Gimp.
Congrats, and good luck! Looks like a lovely idea.
Some free advice, worth what you pay or your money back:
This is not likely to succeed to the level of your wildest dreams... You're not likely to have the next Tetris here.
But. Do NOT despair of it for months, at least. A time span longer than the time it took you to build it, by a factor of 2 or 3. When you start feeling "I wasted my time" then go do something else that absorbs you enough to not think about it; or, if you can, go promoting it some more.
That can be hard if your anxiety and stress undermine your ability to share your joy in your cool toy, so be careful judging that. Fiercely self-edit so you don't leak any negative emotions you might have.

Thanks for your advices.
I have been making games for three years, I don't make more than 10$ but I have never thought that I was wasting my time. I like it very much and I know that I learn a lot. Maybe in the future I will be working for a great company, but first I need a few games that I will be able to show off during my job interview.
