lol this is awesome! I love the idea of hero as worthless luggage. Some of the jumps toward the end of the game remind me a little of IWBTG or Meat Boy, requiring a close eye on your distance from the spikes. I think your jump sensitivity is tuned enough that this doesn't feel too unfair, but I say that as someone who loves difficult platformers.
Visual design -- characters, backgrounds, and everything, is awesome!
Shame about the lack of music and more sound effects~
