Cute game with cute main character. Movement and art are great but sound effects and controls need work. The whip is very hard to control and I'm not sure if this is intended but you can use it to double jump if you aim it at the floor which was the only way I ended up using it. If I had the option I would invert the stick and map the shoulder buttons to the other movement abilities so that I wouldn't have to switch between the whip and jumping. Another thing that annoyed me a little was dying when I touched the spikes from the side. Maybe make it so they only damage you when you fall on top of them or at least make the collision zone a couple of pixels smaller. You could also move them into the ground like in pic related.
