This game has potential, but one thing that definitely needs to be changed is dropping down through thin platforms: it should be immediate, because as-is, the final shaft has fake paths that get you killed before the drop-down finally registers. It's bad design to make it look like the player can go a certain way without actually making that route possible, especially when the player only has a split second to make a decision before being instakilled by vines.
It's also unintuitive that jumping on enemies will hurt them, especially since there are a couple you CAN'T jump on and have to shoot, which makes the ammo limit more frustrating than anything. I also recommend removing the forward-momentum.
Really great art and sound! The sonic-like spin attack when jumping on enemies was also cool. My main gripe is that the controls felt a bit slugish. The fact that you don't change your facing direction when turning around until your momentum has completely stopped makes it kinda frustrating to aim when there are enemies on either side of you. But, overall, a pretty fun game!
Great Job! Awesome NES feel and gameplay. (took me a minute to figure out falling through platforms was Hold down, and not Hold down and jump.) Very Megaman feel. Just wish there was a boss or the game was longer! Even the music fit the theme well.

This game reminded me of Megaman. I love Megaman, I love this game. Is there going to be a version that can be downloaded?
What a great looking game this is. The music is also great.

Super good! The controls feel great and its easy to play. The color palette reminds me a lot of the GBC.
