Seems like a pretty unique take on the theme, showing how in any skill, failure really is progress, as you learn from mistakes and get better. It's a great message to everyone, especially new game developers.
I'd love to play this if you ever make it into a full game. It'd be fun to see many different types of games in both states.
My only complaint is that with the more polished platforming level, I fell down early on with no way up, so I had to restart the game. Please put some spikes down there next time.
