The level design on this is great. I had a lot of fun exploring and looking for the secrets!
A couple recommendations: Using Nearest Neighbor image scaling (rather than Bilinear image scaling, for example) when using pixel-art sprites will prevent the pixels from blurring. Also, to improve the enemy path-finding (so they don't get stuck behind walls), check out the A* search algorithm.
Great work!
This game's a lot of fun! I really enjoy difficult games and this game definitely satisfies that. I will say, however, that having no checkpoints between levels paired with instant-death scenarios is a bit too unforgiving. Other than that I feel the difficulty is both fair and fun, making for an addictive game.
You did a great job marrying time-limit and health mechanics as well as incorporating the theme. That's most certainly where this game shines. I also like the chosen color palette. As far as movement goes, I would suggest not having a set jump height and instead allowing the jump height to vary proportional to how long the space bar is pressed. That would allow the player to have a greater sense of control over the character.
Overall, great work and congrats on making a really fun game!
