Notes--
I put up a post jam build to add WASD controls and Gamepad support, but it's listed as a second package on Gamejolt. If the cursor controls are frustrating, you can give it a go.
The performance can be bad for some - I've heard that switching from Chrome to Firefox can make a big difference, if you happen to have it. Otherwise, sorry about that!

After figuring that out it was definitely more fun, but then I entered Level 2 with almost no health left and it didn't refill that after dying so I wasn't able to advance.
Also, I think that maybe discrete steps in gowing up and down could make your game feel less wobbly.
P.S. This is a solid entry and needs more promotion :)
-Great level design
-Difficult but not too punishing
-Smart choices with the theme
-fun
The bad:
-not terribly innovative
