I couldn't get past the first enemy. :(
But the ice and other graphics look nice.

Hi, It's a pretty nice job, need to work on graphics and other levels now. :)

Trying to be as constructive as possible. There's a lot of room for polish, so I'll just point out some things I'd like to have seen.
1) Conveyance. I only realized I was supposed to be a grinch-like character at the very end. (right? I'm not actually sure about even that). Even if just a wall of text, give me some context for my actions!
2) Jumping is far too abrupt. Add a little "float". Something that might help: vertical momentum should continue in the air, even after I've let go of the arrow keys.
3) Music! Would help make it more charming. Obviously, this isn't always possible, and I don't fault you for not including it.

Those things said, the sprite art is very charming. You make very good use of limited size. It is very obvious what everything is supposed to be (no easy task). Your platforming puzzles, though simple, were difficult enough to be entertaining for the duration.

Make more!

So.. you cant kill enemies?

The art that is there looks pretty good. The problem is that everything is so tiny that you have to squint to make out certain objects.

@Manuel777 I had to comment out the fireball code at the last minute, the collision wasn't working right.
Also, the illusion that the last four enemies kill you only holds as long as you don't touch them... oops.

I couldn't get past the first hard jump, the one with the parallel platforms 0_o

very cute graphics, really liked the parallax :)

Really nice graphics. It's a bit unfinished, but definitely not a bad foundation! Falling should feel a bit more natural (accelerated) and starting the level off with probably the hardest jumps of all is not very motivating.

Very slooooow. Nice background and parallax effect, but the characters are too small to see its details. Take care of the tipography

Green Grump is an awesome name. The jumping was super hard. I hope green grump gets home for christmas.

Well done for a 48h entry ! Too bad you can't finish the fireball ^^
