I would recommend adding some instructions for the controls. I kept trying to use WASD to move while I was falling and almost gave up. For anyone else trying, use the mouse for control once you've jumped.
The game also closed every time I clicked restart. Not sure if it was a crash or if the restart button is actually making the game quit.
The audio track is fantastic and earned you a really high rating for Mood.

However while playing it I couldn't help but feel that this game could have been a much more serious title. Imagine if you are in the future when the Earth core needs some device to keep it stable and you're on the mission to fix/provide that device. You get your suit and go down the rabbit hole!
There could be some power ups in the game that let's you destroy some of the obstacles while diving into the Earth's core. I'd add voiced dialogue to the main character and there should be a companion or someone from the mission control who would instruct the player with the nearest obstacles and maybe just casualy talk to the main character, maybe you could tell another story while trying to get to the core.
All this, in my opinion, would add a lot of depth to the game. Although, your humorous approach to the subject is quite appealing too!
And if you want to leave the game like this, I'd only fix few bugs: restart button closes the game instead of restarting the gameplay. At least on my machine. And sometimes when you jump off at the beginning you can immediately fall to death.
Anyway... I really love the game! Great work!
yes it looks like the button restarts is a crash XD
Improvements:
* Teach the player that he can only steer with the MOUSE once he dived. I did not understand this at first. WASD won't work anymore, maybe make the mouse optional?
* A hot restart is absolutely essential for these kind of games. When I press restart the game closes.
* I first tried to jump on the rocks, you may need some visual hint.. like an arrow.
