Found a few bugs--the tire swing can smack you into a position where you seem to be intersecting with the wall, since you can't move afterwards, and running into the top of the screen also halts your forward progress.

Jumping was a bit too springy relative to the size of your enemies, removing a lot of the threat from them, and I bounced into the ceiling a lot. You might want to change the size of the player character and jump height relative to the enemies, or add some more headspace on the screen.

However, I liked the way that the background assets had a different function than in traditional platformers. You could go between stands of trees, be shot far by a cannon, or struck about by a tire swing--all static, unkillable objects that you had to learn to navigate anyway, and were outside the usual platformer fare.
