Great music, audio, art, and overall mood, and the story is touching and interesting. I especially love the music. In general, I think the controls and the order of events could be tweaked to give a little bit more clarity to the dialogue. By starting in the house -- with all the objects, the first inclination of a new player is to pick up and examine everything inside the house before going outside. It also isn't quite clear if/how items are "used." With a little bit of polish on these elements the flow of the story could more easily take center stage. Even so, great work.
Really charming and complete-feeling game where the challenge of each section builds super quickly. The controls are smooth and the music/audio is fantastic. I can see this being an incredibly solid and complete platform-puzzler in the future. The game is curiously addictive and actually very difficult from the start -- quite good, but a little unforgiving both in physics and level design. Seconding the other comments of building out a smoother difficulty curve in future iterations. :)
One thing I might enjoy more in terms of the controls would be the ability to change direction to a greater degree while falling so players might be able to boost straight up and use that as a technique to scale vertical surfaces. This would be a particularly useful tweak when using keyboard controls since mashing 4 keys in quick succession at once to "jump" diagonally is a bit of a challenge.
