Absolutely love the concept!  Certainly very "Kiwi"esk with the collecting of rugby balls and jandals, etc.  Heh heh heh.  Very good.

Not sure what it is, but somehow the physics don't feel quite right in the jump.  Can't quite put my finger on it.

In any case, I think you should keep working on improving this one and I think it would be very highly marketable, particularly in the New Zealand market.  :-)  A really good little kids game in the tradition of games like the old Commodore 64 game, "New Zealand Story".
