EDIT: Ver 1.5 is up. I've tweaked the running and braking a little. Movement should be more fluid now. I've also enlarged the offscreen window, so NPC popup should be nonexistant now. Enjoy and keep up with the feedback!
Sorry for the outline thing. It won't appear again.

Pretty amazing game. Plus, I like that little jab at Minecraft you sneaked in on that "pick-axe" part.

Cool game, pretty fun for a quick run. But the medals are broken. I didn't get a single one, which disappointed me slightly. I found no bugs though, so it seems like you weeded those out. Good work dude.

I liked it, it was a bit laggy and the jumping took awhile to get used to, but the concept was good and the treasures were decently hidden.

It was fun, but really, is it so hard to bug test your game? Gnome ship gives everything outlines, gliding into a hill with water running down it will occasionally make you fly upwards, etc. I won't be able to complete the game without fixing these bugs.

Overall, this is a strong "easy-fun" game. Not too challenging without being a pushover. Graphics are nice and bright, the animations are fun, and the sound is great. And I am always kind of partial to a game with a female protagonist where the gender doesn't really play into anything (which did make the end seem a bit... yeah).
But there are some flaws. As others have noted, movement is very, for lack of a better term, slippery, particularly when moving in the air. Precision jumping is quite difficult because your character basically goes from zero to sixty instantly when airborne. This is especially aggravating when trying to maneuver through that big tree, ESPECIALLY in the coin race.
The randomly-colored text gets very hard to read. Maybe if you black-outlined the letters it would be a bit better. Also, when exploring the caves, the text ends up behind the blackout parts that hide passages; I couldn't even read the text for the Lady's Necklace thanks to that.
And, as noted... colors don't really have anything to do with the tale. I was kind of expecting abilities to relate to colored obstacles to be cleared at the very least.
Taking these into consideration, and MAYBE adding a map feature to the sequel, you'd have a VERY strong little game.
