The Messenger by Mossy Frog
A super short "platformer" focused on it's super short "narrative plot". Hopefully you understand what you need to do at the end. The platforming is super finicky and the collisions are hit and miss, so you may fall through the world if you hit certain corners just right.

Please leave as much criticism as you feel. This will be my last Ludum Dare using Flash as I am going to attempt to learn Unity by LD33. Hope you all enjoy :)
now sleep... so tired, so very tired.

I'd opt for a higher contrast between background and foreground elements, as it was a little difficult to tell what I was jumping on at a few points. Nicely done!
You had a suprisingly similar idea for the "weapon" as i had with my entry ;)
Perhaps you can really think about this - a platformer game with inaccurate platforms display...
imo the platforming didn't really serve the narration, maybe something like a runner would have worked better
Level design is a bit iffy. Simple platforming, but the irregular geometry and cramped spaces made some jumps harder than they ought to be (and created a whole lot of spaces where you could nudge yourself into the wall). At least it wasn't really punishing on that.
Soothing music. Good aesthetics. Controls are pretty solid. Good job!
(PS: And I notice just now that you've already noted on the clipping and stuff in the description. Silly me.)
I read that you will use Unity3D on the next LD. It's a great program and worth to try. However, if you still like Flash and want to keep working with it, check the Citrus Engine: http://citrusengine.com ^^
Btw, although I'm commenting now, I was able to vote in time :)
