 Before we do this, remove the single monster from the Scene. We don't need it any more:

-This will create monsters over and over every second for us. But the monster objects need to start at a random position each time. Change the monster object to have a range of starting x positions:

 Looking great! Monsters should be dropping in all over the place:

 Some tweaks can be added to the monster and the body to improve things a little:
-<code=ini>

 Finally, a touch of ''Restitution'' on the body will allow it to bounce just a touch when landing from a height.
-That should work a little better.
+That should work a little better. Additionally, if you prefer the Jelly Monsters not too rotate when tipping over the edges of the platforms you can add a ''FixedRotation'' to the body:

+Dynamic            = true
+PartList           = MonsterBodyPart
+AngularDamping     = 50

+FixedRotation      = true
