It was fairly short but when can you expect in only a few days of work?
The biggest issue I had was that on the second level I ended up getting stuck and needed to refresh the page in order to try again, I think a good improvement would've been to add some way to restart the current level to avoid that frustration.
The spike level was fairly difficult but eventually I figured out how to solve it. I won't say here so others can figure it out but it is beatable.
The graphics and animations were very smooth and very well polished despite having so little time to work on it, so congratulations on that!
Again **R-key** restarts the current level!
Anyways, good job!
Too bad there are only three levels, the idea seemed really promising ; and the first levels felt cleverly designed. And kudos for the 'R' (restart) key, I think we should make it Ludum Dare common practice to have it!
The controls of the game is not functional when you lose focus from the game (like go to the media player and play the stopped music), and some audio should be nice. And there must be a graphic that displays the controls of the game (some people might get lost. But gladly I guessed, there was indeed a gorgeous R button for a restart level). All in all, the game has potential for improvement. Just keep it up! :D (I added a screenshot, which made me shocked in the end... As I wished for more levels to come)

- It would be nice to have more options for the controls e.g. up to jump, or A/D for left/right and W for jump.
- The level with the spikes is really hard.
- There is what I think is a glitch, which is that if you jump on a box from high up enough it falls through the ground.
Other than that I really like it, especially the graphics etc.
Well done! :)
