I see a lot of potential here. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I couldn't seem to get past that first switchback.

Very difficult right off the bat! Nice graphics and animation
It is extremely difficult. I was low on time so I knew I wouldn't be able to make a long game with lots of levels, so I went for 1 really tough level. You know what they say: Difficulty over Quantity. Anyway, it is beatable. I managed to beat it after about 25 failed attempts.
Good feel, though the controls are certainly tricky to master. Excellent animations and graphics. Enjoyed the 3D side-scroller format.
...oy. This one's rough. The overall look is very well done, however, it's really, really hard. *Too* hard. Controls are a little stiff, and there's no indicator as to how long you can stay aloft.
First game to make me laugh out loud with joy! So much fun, nice job :)
This game feels really nice to play, even though I keep missing the jumps. The game's very hard. The graphics have a charm to them.
@jayemjee: agree on all the criticisms. I had very little time to actual test the game. I spent most of Saturday night trying to get swinging rope physics to work, then gave up and swapped to jetpack on Sunday.
Very difficult, but so satisfying when you do beat it. I don't know why you made an idle animation though, because if you stop for even a nanosecond you DIE.
HARD but verrrry addictive!
I tried and failed about 30 times. It's impressive how addictive a difficult game can be!! I might just go and play it again :)
Found it very hard but still fun to play :)
Haha, tough, but fun. Very nice graphics. Adding a glow effect to the lava might help to make it "feel" hot.
christ that's tough. better too tough than too easy, though
Well animated, good graphics. Fun simple platformer right here.
Fourth try! I do feel like beating it was an accomplishment, though.
hilariously awesome
"Found it very hard"
After about a thousand tries, I completed it! Maybe you should make it gradually become more difficult and have a bigger level. I mean, you have to play for a long time to win as it is, but the time you win takes less than a minute of playing. The graphics were impressive for the particles and the fact that the character has animation. Would be a lot less frustrating if the character had no friction. Hey, we both made platformer games where you have to escape a volcano!
@bentog - Woo Volcanoes! I wish I had more time to make multiple levels or a longer level with a difficulty curve. As far as friction goes, I don't even know how, but there is 0 sliding in Unity, yet the web player, the ground feels a lot more slippery. No idea why tbh D:
