I think the game has some memory leaks - it became really slow for me after a while

some interesting features though - I enjoyed it.
however, the player moves much to slow for my taste so I felt quite sluggish for me

Collision detection is a little wonky. Though I am enjoying the mental image of a giant yellow head grabbing onto a ledge with its lips.

Also, you are probably way better at platformers than I am, since I couldn't get past the second level. :-)

This game is quite rough, but it was surprisingly fun. I think you have some talent with the level making ideas.

Managed to finish the game.

Some sounds would improve this tenfold.

if you guys haven't realised, the special character is supposed to be a super meat boy :D

I found it very difficult to control the character. I have a very hard time when the direction keys are letters and the jump is a space bar.

This got kinda annoying after about five minutes of playing, but it's a legible game. Some collision detection fixes and maybe resetting the level when you die would be some good improvements.

Also, sounds. Being a composer, I can't stress how much audio adds to a game.
