writing some thoughts as i play:

i think there is a typo in OPTIONS on the title screen
Having a concept art GALLERY is always a really cool feature, i like looking at all the art
the menu transition is nice, but takes maybe just a little too long
its hard to tell what is a platform/wall and what isnt
i feel like it would be a lot faster if i could control the pointer with my mouse
personal preference, I feel that the jump is too high and fast and that the gravity is really high. It makes platforming difficult
Also personal preference, if the player is going to be super fast, i think it feels better if there is a tiny bit of acceleration to the ground movement. even NES megaman has a few frames before he starts moving at full speed.
i like the atmosphere overall and the MIDI style music

keep up the good work!

I might fix the grammar stuff later on.

The gallery I plan to update to add more characters/other settings, even if after I update my MEGA gallery.

Wanted the transition effect to take the right amount for the game to load, so maybe I could tweak that.

I thought of having it so the solid/interactible stuff has pure black outlines while everything else has outlines of different colors or none.

The mouse being controlled by buttons is weird but I also feared having the actual arrow of the real mouse being used could cause problems.

Not sure if I could try tweaking movement because I fear it could affect how level design is already laid out.
