You really need awesome controls if you're going to ask the player to make difficult jumps. It would help a lot if how long you held down space determined the height of the jump.
In the post-compo, after I lost all my lives, the camera panned left and just never stopped. In the compo, I never could make it past the first rotating platform. Even when I landed very, very close to dead-center on it, it just spun faster!
This could be a great game with a little more polish!
About rotating platform and other difficult jumps - for me it helps to keep on pushing space till it works (I know that shouldn't work like this :)
