Wow, what a good little game. The idea is neat, the controls smooth, and the sound and aesthetics pleasing. I enjoyed this more than any other game I rated so far. I'd like to see if it makes a full release eventually.
Great idea with different abilities - reminded me of The Lost Vikings, I wonder if that was your inspiration. Challenging, yet gets easier with more attempts - fitting the theme. One thing I'd wish for is more control for character movement while in the air. Games that lock your character movement in the air remind me of old 8-bit rage days. Overall, it's obvious you put a lot of effort into this, so kudos.
Feels great. Some help with navigation puzzles might be good - because stuck at certain point and not sure how to proceed. But good prototype for something decent.
Great work on sound and visuals. I found using the keyboard and mouse a bit inconvenient since the mouse doesn't control the camera - I'd prefer everything to be keyboard only. I also spent a bit of time in the initial room cause I couldn't figure out the wall jump.
My best guess is that gamedev.tv is looking for ideas for new courses. Rushed and buggy games might be exactly the right thing - so they can devise a course on how to build certain games properly.
