This game reminds me of Secret Agent Man from Apogee. Back in those days, you'd buy a disk with a game like this and play it for hours, no matter how frustrating it was.
But this is 2011, there are millions of games, so when a game gets frustrating, people just move on to the next.
This game really needs more checkpoints in most levels. Also, you should be able to make small jumps instead of always jumping the same height no matter how fast you tap the up button.
There are many places where you have to jump down and can't see what's below, so you have to depend on luck.
Finally, you could make the game look more interesting by making the backgrounds scroll at half speed.
Very nice game. However, I hated to have to give up at the end after finding the gold key and almost at the gold door. That jump over the ceiling is simply impossible|
You need to make sure you used a SINGLE jump to get up to the ceiling (there's a 'rest stop' where you can drop down and single jump up), so that your double jump is ready to go. Then it's just hold left, tap down, tap up.
EDIT: And because so many people got stuck there, I've released an update that makes that part trivial, so have at it again!

Nice, but too frustrating
