Nice idea for a game. The main problem with your design is the structure. Have a look at http://gamedesign.wikicomplete.info/game-design-document-template for an //idea// how to structure a design document. This template shows you one possible way of creating a design document, but it's not necessarily the only way it can be done. In particular, the //Introduction// section should be used to give a brief overview of what the game is about before going into detail in the //Game Mechanics// section.

You haven't specified this game is a platformer, but it is implied by the controls, gameplay and screenshot. As I said above, this should be mentioned in the //Introduction// section before you go into more detail.

All in all you have given a good idea what the game is about, but you could improve the document by restructuring it, adding in some concept art (e.g. for the enemies), and maybe adding in at the end what each group member is contributing.
