Not a bad start! For a first game I'd say it's a success. I think the core concept could be a lot of fun, and from here you just need to tweak various things. Controlling the guy was kind of hard to do, which made bumping into the walls frustrating at times.
It's a neat idea, but I feel like this could have been a lot of fun if the controls were tighter. I agree with some of the other comments - the wall jump is frustrating. And for a game where I was asked to use it constantly, it quickly made my whole experience pretty frustrating.
The game is a little slow to load and sluggish to play.
The content in the game is crazy impressive, but I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than watch. I'd left click and see black boxes, but nothing seemed to respond to those boxes.
Pretty fun! It had a nice difficulty ramp - at first I thought it was going to be entirely too challenging, but the first couple levels were easy enough to ease me into the experience. One thing I might suggest is changing the control interface a bit. Since I'm more accustomed to using WASD, I would sometimes hit the wrong key and end up burning a move. Perhaps consider switching it to a mouse click (just draw a border or highlight a hexagon when you hover over it, to show which hexagon you're selecting to move to). Just a thought.
