Well done - I'm bad at platformers and its too hard for me, but I got a great feel for the game you did a lot with a simple concept and it looks great.

- Immediately nails the theme and style, with it being both relevant to the level design, world design and gameplay mechanics. Continues to develop the mechanics and difficulty with minimal instruction right up to the "end" which then unlocks genuinely challenging levels and a speedrun mode. Top shelf.
- this is a STRONG contender! i really genuinely enjoyed my time playing hosehead, i even went for some of the challenge levels, despite having 1400 submissions to view, absolutely stellar, you should absolutely expand this concept, and make this a full release, id pay money for it! a couple upgrades or new mechanics to expand it once we get used to it, different environments and bosses. for real, you've got gold here.
