"Not all that great."

Looks like a decent platformer at first glance, but it broke every time I tried to get the tutorial running. I've never played maple story, and you neglected to inform us that Space makes us jump. I'm not aware of any particular special moves. After my tenth respawn in about three minutes, I got tired of the bosses cheap shot instakills and put it down.
Suggestions:
* a functional tutorial
* explain ALL the controls
* not such a steep learning curve...maybe a full level to run through BEFORE the boss so we can get familiar with the controls?
Good Stuff:
* Graphics. I like 'em
* Sounds. They're decent
* Music. Not bad, but doesn't sound like a boss fight.
Overall, a good game (probably) but not for the casual gamer. The learning curve is too steep, the controls aren't explained, and the tutorial is broken.

Hmm. I think a learning level before the actual level is a good idea.
I'll try to incorporate it into my next game.
And I fixed the tutorial in v1.3.
To play this version, check if the game says v1.3 on the top right. If it doesn't, wait a while and clear your cache.
Thanks for the suggestion.
