Hey Guys, I'm made this game for my Computer Science class and I would really like to have a 3rd person's opinion of it, I will attach a couple photos and the app file, just download and play.

I'd suggest definitely adding more levels, making some levels less linear (making dead ends, and wrong turns) and, if you have time, make some sort of art for walls and floors.
As far as the code goes, there are 2 things that I see that could be fixed. When you jump, it seems like you must be using an accelerate behavior to go up, or something along those lines. I'd suggest changing that to a change velocity behavior, making sure you have an accelerate down behavior. This will give more realistic jumps. When something goes up, it gradually loses, not gains, not loses speed. Also, the way the jump works seems to be where if it's touching the ground black actors, it won't jump. While this does prevent double jumps, it doesn't prevent from double jumps while touching a wall. In your 3rd level, there's a part where this move is necessary, but I'd suggest either changing the game so that it won't happen, or adding some kind of special effect to make it make more sense, e.g. when jumping off a wall, rather than moving straight up, moving diagonally up and away from the wall, as if something really were bouncing off of a wall.
Other than all that, this looks good for a first game. Not something I think you should put on the app store as is (if you're planning on it, at least add some more art, however simple) but you definitely have a good understanding of how to use Gamesalad. Well done.
