The character was supposed to start without an ability to climb (and later may unlock it in the shop). The whole game will be zoomed in, and stay much darker, such that players will actually be very careful to advance through. I may try to post the finished product on next ludum dare game jam (not compo) if theme matches luckily :D\r\rAnyway, thanks for the good advice!"},{"author_name":"Figglewatts","author_uid":"18833","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 9:54pm","epoch":1398808140,"text":"Platforming seems a bit clunky.

I think you should flip the charactar when he walks to the left or at least show a dead guy when you die instead of just disappearing.
