Pretty nice. Could use variable jump height though, I think. Pretty unforgiving difficulty with the one hit death. Massive bonus points for reconfigurable controls though!

Quite nice, but too unforgiving to start over from the beginning on death, at least until you've gotten better at it (after which the game would probably work well for speed running).
The one shot at a time mechanic didn't add that much either, since there were so many batteries, and additionally you could probably complete the game without shooting at all.
The graphics are pretty solid, but the sounds get on your nerves pretty quickly (so it's good that it's possible to disable them).
It would also have been nice if you knew what a certain key was supposed to do (jump/shoot etc.) when you configure them, so you didn't have to guess.
@Steve: The jump does have variable height, though.
Not too shabby at all! I like the fact that it reminds of DOS-gaming. :D
On that note, it plays pretty well and the one-laser mechanic is simple and effective. Difficulty is indeed a little unforgiving with only one life and that combined with slower physics makes for a bit of a pain when you restart, but overall I like it!
