Nice! It was fun. It's a lot easier if you hold shift and down constantly.

The game bugged for me big time, it didn't take my input for ~80% of the time and every now and then the graphics disappeared apart from the background.
Controls seem broken for me, couldn't get jumping over anything to work.
Really, really well-done. I didn't quite see the whole point of the gun (recoil didn't seem to help too much, maybe you were going to add enemies but didn't have enough time, which I understand given the rest) but I found great fun in shooting the lava wall when I knew my time had come. The random platform generation was quite well-done, although situations would arise that were literally impossible to pass. I loved the fact that you ran at full speed when crounching and everything, I mostly played crouched down in mid-air like some sort of hindu god, which again was quite humorous. The occasional write-ins that would appear the bottom were quite whimsical, as well. All-in-all, a quite funny game with some points unintentionally so. Good show.
There should be some penalty for holding down Shift all the time... still, decent level gen and I like the gun shooting as jumping boost thingy. Needs more sounds for audio feedback (e.g. a "click" reload sound for every bullet). A bit too floaty for my tastes too...

I feel exactly the same way. A shame this can't run on Firefox in a smooth manner =/
pro-tip: You can shoot the cracked blocks with the gun to destroy them.
Had major performance problems, also whenever I left clicked the level mysteriously vanished for a split second.
Pretty fun little platformer and very theme-appropriate. Nice work!
FYI: This didn't work in IE9 for me (but did work in Chrome).
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me in chrome :(
It said "press space to continue" on the instructions page, but when I did, nothing happened.
I played it on Opera ... feels like a good game already, but when I leftclick the player graphics disappear and somehow I'm dead (Distance counter stops). Don't tell me the only thing I can shoot is myself? :)
