The movement was a lot floatier than I would have expected. Also everything is very large. I don't think I can recall a game like this that is so zoomed in. Typically you can see a lot more of the environment at once in a platformer. There were a few glitches like getting stuck on the corner of a stump or something. The levels felt short and I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment when finishing them. I think some music and sound effects would go a long way. Avoiding the robots on the 3rd level was the biggest challenge.
Overall well done. I think you nailed the main character and you should be proud of that. Maybe next time you can spend a little more time on the gameplay.
The game itself looks pretty good - I liked the hero sprite, and animations were a nice touch. Controls felt a bit strange, especially jump, which sometimes didn't work properly. Platformers are deceptively hard genre to pull off, specifically because every little control bug can impact how the whole game feels. But apart from that, everything worked well. Great job!
