One thing that could help would be to make the collision detection on the extra jump a little friendlier, so that it only requires touching it.

Not sure if I just suck or whether its intentional (might not even happen at all) I often hold down the right arrow key and I think that interferes with the switching button. Not sure. Its really fun though! Better than all the other switching platformers that came out of this competition. Seriously, crazy props to you.
