Nearly gave up before I came back to the comments and someone mentioned double jump. There is text that tells the player they can jump higher which is confusing as that is not the same thing as a double jump.

I agree with other commenters that the controls aren't specified very well - double jump makes no sense in terms of physics, so I don't usually expect it to be there unless explicitly told.  Some teleporters work, others don't; I assume the switches turn them on, but it would be better if they had more distinct powered-on vs. powered-off images.  Also, death takes you all the way back to the start, but that can be a real drag, since some of the double-jumps are very hard.  Maybe go back to your last teleport, like a save point?  Anyway, clever, fun, and well-done."},{"author_name":"PIXEL^3","author_uid":"10948","time":"Apr 29, 2012 @ 6:06pm","epoch":1335722460,"text":"music would have made the jump sound more bearable :3"},{"author_name":"Gornova","author_uid":"2572","time":"May 1, 2012 @ 8:49pm","epoch":1335905040,"text":"thanks for your comments, as you notice double jump could be difficult and I haven't explained it as I would\r<br\/>\r<br\/>note: if you found any typo, let me know, I'm not native english speaker :D"},{"author_name":"someone","author_uid":"1207","time":"May 1, 2012 @ 9:07pm","epoch":1335906120,"text":"Teleporters definitely need to be obviously off or on.
