I may be wrong, but on an odd by odd board, if I am the first player and I play the centre square, then mirror my opponent's move (rotational symmetry), don't I always win? And if either of the sides has an even number of sqaures along it, can the second player not mirror her opponent's moves (reflectional across the centre) and always win?
I'm sure you've already thought of this, I just can't immediately see why that doesn't work.

I like the mechanic - this being Ludum Dare I'm absolutely prepared to play lots of half-baked platformers, so playing one that stands out in gameplay is a treat :-).

After falling from near the top of the level to the bottom around the fifth time in a row, I quit playing :-/. Something about me sucks at games like this.
That said, the artwork style was fantastic :-) - good job!

I really like the graphical style of this, and dig this kind of gameplay. That said, I have stopped playing before completing this because every time I die I have to press three buttons just to try again (and I'm dying a lot). Which is a shame - in my opinion, if you polish the respawn on death you achieve a lot for your game (e.g. Super Hexagon, VVVVVV). Also, the instant game over message on death is very jarring - a small delay and a death animation would go a long way.

I got 124. That's enough clicking for me, I think :-).

The mechanic fits the theme perfectly, but works out as being pretty frustrating. If you get a decent item (e.g. the watch) then you kind of want to save it for a later level - which sucks 'cause the items are the most interesting point.
Also, as a general point, the enemy's instakill method is, in my opinion, really harsh on the player. Personally, I prefer to err on the side of being generous to the player as that makes for fewer frustrating deaths.
Still, a I enjoyed it :-).

This is a cute little game - I worked out what you had to do way before I managed to get it right. Alas, I had to get my laptop out to get a better framerate/smoothness XD. I like the graphic style of it particularly :-).
