The jumping sound really got annoying after jumping so many times but I think with a bit of volume-lowering and some background music it would be alright.
The idea of falling off of one world and into another was really cool and I think it's darned innovative. Well done with that. The controls and feel are also really nice so it feel like a solid platformer.
The only other thing I would suggest would be some kind of indicator of position when the character is off the screen vertically as it is a bit difficult to intuit the falling location after a jump way up there. But that's a gameplay decision and I eventually did get used to not seeing my character's position.
Hope you can find some time to polish this gem up! :D
Unsure if I liked falling into the other levels or not. Graphics quite cool, sounds could use a little work. Was a little hard to control in places and a bit frustrating not being able to try again straight away. Not bad other than that though. Good work for the 48!
Normally I would say you should have a jump button separate from the movement buttons, but for some reason this felt right.
I loved that you never die, you just fall into the next world. And I also like starting at the beginning of the level... it reminded me of the old school games.
I really can't think of anything to improve it... maybe add music?
