Excellent platformer, good level design!

So much with so little. Awesome work.

Excellent excellent sprite art. Nice to see sprites that were made for the low resolution instead of forced into it (blurry). The music and sounds fit right in. When you die you start all over, but it looks like care was put into where extra hearts and arrows were placed.

But man, this game is punishing! My main complaint is that when a player takes damage they almost immediately take damage again. In a game where hearts are precious this aspect is maddening. I lost two lives nearly every time I took a long fall into some spikes.

At first I was annoyed with there being some especially difficult jumps towards the beginning, but honestly, it's better the player gets used to extremely difficult jumps early on versus later. 

And I didn't have any issues with inputs. I'm using Vivaldi, which is Chromium-based, so I assume Chrome and Edge also work fine.

I FIGURED OUT WHY INPUTS DON'T WORK: (i think)
If you click the sides of the game, inputs (and potentially audio) will stop working. Going to a new tab may also make inputs not work anymore except for left click. Note that I'm running Firefox.

Anyways...

This game looks great, love the pallete choice and the clean visuals. I love the no outline style here. Music is pretty nice too.

A small detail that I really appreciate; I love how the shooting things on the first few screens sync up with the music. I could actually time my fall to the music, and I wouldn't get hit.

I did have some issues with gameplay; when I died I was sent back to the beginning.  Then I have to retrace all my steps again. This, combined with the slow movement speed, made it kinda tedious to traverse the world.

Really beautiful game! I love your animations and Itch page layout. I can't seem to send inputs to the game when using Safari on macOS. Worked with Firefox.
