The raw platforming mechanics in this game are incredibly well done. The controls are very tight and the air control is so much fun. It's challenging enough to make you want to play more. The various mechanics, like the arrows and the bouncers were very engaging. The level was pretty heavy on the air-control aspect, but this seemed like a personal choice. I would have liked to see some sound effects and some music. Some kind of crunchy effect on wall-jumps or deaths would make this game pop a lot more. Aside from that, the platforming mechanics are essentially perfect in my opinion, very similar to Super Meat Boy.

The engine is really great, it's smooth, it's flowing, and yet it's really tight. Despite the lack of sound or graphics other than simple rectangles, it was really quite enjoyable. I reckon you could definitely spend more time on this game, and fully flesh it out into something really fantastic, keep it up!
