Green Grump by nickusername1
Very very basic. Arrows to move and jump. 'P' to pause. No sound or fireballs:(

But the ice and other graphics look nice.
1) Conveyance. I only realized I was supposed to be a grinch-like character at the very end. (right? I'm not actually sure about even that). Even if just a wall of text, give me some context for my actions!
2) Jumping is far too abrupt. Add a little "float". Something that might help: vertical momentum should continue in the air, even after I've let go of the arrow keys.
3) Music! Would help make it more charming. Obviously, this isn't always possible, and I don't fault you for not including it.
Those things said, the sprite art is very charming. You make very good use of limited size. It is very obvious what everything is supposed to be (no easy task). Your platforming puzzles, though simple, were difficult enough to be entertaining for the duration.
Make more!
Also, the illusion that the last four enemies kill you only holds as long as you don't touch them... oops.
