I like this game and see a lot of potential in it. I played it Sunday after the ratings were closed (which is a shame as I would have rated it highly) and it seems to be V2. People commented about how wonderful the music is but I get no music at all, just a sound effect that plays on level completion and one on death.

So the primary issue is that your character has nothing stopping them from jumping in mid air. You've got some sort of code to detect when you've reached the ground because that's when the ever increasing gravity effect gets reset. So whatever check you have for that needs to also be in the code for the jumping. However, I'd guess you are using the Event block for "when Space Key pressed" because of the way that the operating system handles a keyboard key held down. Instead I would suggest something like the following.
Jump_key is a variable created to track the input state. It can either be local to the object or global depending on whether any other sprites need to know about it. This code has an advantage that you can use Jump_key over and over again in the code instead of having to have put the key/mouse checks in over and over again. It also means you could easily add a new button to mean Jump without having to change any spots except the one.
My space game has one of these input blocks for each player action and the code is in the stage. This makes it so I can respond to movement commands in the Player sprite while allowing the player's bullet sprite to respond to the Fire input.
