I think it can be pretty hard to come up with some twist to make a platformer really stand out. Maybe I haven't played enough of them, but I haven't come across any games that combine a platformer with a story book. That's pretty dang cool and unique in my opinion! As far as the gameplay goes, I think the beetles were a little difficult to dodge...they didn't seem to walk far enough. Other than that, I enjoyed the atmosphere, art and music. Nice work!
