The Legend of Jarrow by Vasileiadis
Story:
This game follows the story of Jarrow, a young kung fu master who suffered a Curse of Exhaustion by his former teacher.
Now, even the most typical actions like fighting with his staff, wrestling enemies or even running around, require his complete focus for 10 seconds and after that he's exhausted - he can't even repeat the same task until another 10 seconds have passed.
Join our hero in his quest to find the only known person that can lift the Curse of Exhaustion.
Will he make it? It's up to you!
Controls:
You control the entire game by tapping with both timing and speed:
R - Run (to move to the goal)
Space - Spin (to defend against incoming enemies)
W - Wrestle (when attacked)
PS: Although there's an option to skip, I suggest you go through the tutorial.
PPS: If you find the game too hard, PageUp activates "God-Mode" ;)
PPPS: If you finish the game and want a more challenging replay, press a key from 2 to 5 when you are prompted to skip the tutorial and then skip / play the tutorial :)

I'll try later again :)
BTW, my game should be working in Firefox now.
About the things you would like to see changed, I'm not sure I'm allowed to make changed before judging is over, but..
@iiechapman: You're right, I wish I had added an option to choose your own controls, everybody would be happier! (W)restle (R)un and (Sp)in was way too.. "poetic" of a coincidence to just let it slide though ;)
It didnt seem all that bad position-wise either - maybe it's because I've got big hands :P
@Oana: Well, that's not a bug, it's a feature!:P No, really, if you (R)un fast enough the camera moves smoothly, it's only weird if your run ends when you're mid-air or in the middle of a trick :) Try replaying or hitting PageUp to activate "GodMode" which automatically runs you through the entire game like a cinematic.
Nice concept and graphics style on the characters, backgrounds look a little bit 'standard unity'... still not bad.
Good effort for 48 hours!
although now my fingers hurt from all of the tapping, hehe
It's fun, but I kept missing the timing of when to spin and had to wrestle everyone :P
Nice work!
Overall a pretty interesting game and well done on the smooth graphics!
