Really liked the game! The i-frame shield (1.1 update) definitely made it easier and a bit more possible to complete the game (finally beat it after it was updated... in 1.0 I got stuck on the second version of the rolling boss).
As others said, the controls feel great! It's got a lot of polish, and the effort put in is obvious (for this game, that's a good thing). I really like the idea of each boss getting more difficult each time you fight them. The phases of the bosses are very well done, and the sound indications are perfect! The art is really cool and fits the game perfectly. The simplistic color scheme works wonders!
One suggestion I think I could make would be a death screen (or just simply a pause button) so that there's a bit more of a break after you die so you can rest your hands if necessary.
When I was looking through the games from the contest, Jet Boy caught my eye immediately. When I saw it was a combination of BulletHell, Platformer, and BossRush, I was sold and downloaded it immediately.

TLDR; Superb for a game jam game!
