Please make a video showing the game play and talking about you design choices and what you missed out on. I'm very interested in those stuff so I will definitely watch it.

Very nice video , I was confused about the save points as I was thinking they were check points or they save your upgrades after you die before but your video clears that up. Maybe have more save points if you plan on working it in the future.
I pretty much completed the game losing all my upgrades lol. I also tried the jump attack strategy but didn't know if the upgrades would disappear when i went around to get them but it seems like a valid strategy to your game.
Good job bro for making the effort for the video. If you plan on working for longer term in this game definitely think of what makes sense to the player and play test alot more. If you can complete a level without getting hurt once , I think that is a good estimate of the difficulty being right for the average player. (I heard this recently from a GDC Conference).
