I love playing as acrobatic characters like this, the controls are pretty good! I have to say though I was not a big fan of the hit detection and enemy placement, I wouldn't have minded it too much if I had a lifebar, but in a game where you die in one hit these problems lead to a lot of replays of the same section...
That aside, I gotta commend you on the graphics and sound, you stuck to the 1 BG layer limit AND the 3 colours per-sprite limit, very nice! But not only that, the audio seems pretty accurate as well, and you actually bothered to do Stereo! Good job!
