The game was a little bland and I took off points for using other people's resources ( the background ) in a compo entry.

I liked it. For some reason though, in the first level when I lost all my health the level didnt restart and I could continue playing it. In the second level I did die though.
You're not allowed to use content created by others in a Compo entry.
I had the same problem with not dying in the first level.
Hanging in the lamps was a nice addition, it would be cool if in future levels the level design makes more use of this mechanic.
I don't really think you needed to use someone else's background: Your own sprites look pretty good, and the background you chose doesn't really fit with that style. Even a plain black background would probably have been more consistent with the style. Consistency in style is often more important for the overall look of the game than how well the individual sprites and backgrounds look, in my opinion.
The platforming physics wern't optimal, some jumps were unnecessarily hard because of this, but just keep making platformers and I know you'll improve!
