This is a charming game. I thought the art and music worked well together, and I especially liked the background. The surprise element was a little vague, but I did understand at the end. I thought the controls were nice and tight, and the game was fun overall. However, I think the collision detection was a little unforgiving (especially on the ground spikes). Furthermore, restarting the entire game if a player dies is also not pleasant. You could argue that as a design decision, but I do think if you keep it, at least don't replay the opening dialogue every time. Good game though, and good effort!
