I love the game I just wish there was more to it than just platforming

How could it be better in you opinion? I'm willing to make it as good as I can
Now, this game has A TON of potential. I'm not saying it's bad, it just needs some more work.

First of all, i like the graphics. But the background and behind the walls is just bland. I mean you did so well with the sprites! And the cutscene, don't even get me started on it! It's amazing! I mean those In-Betweens look so smooth! You see i'm currently making art for an indie game with pixelart. And as an artist myself, i'm amazed with the cutscene! You just need to put more variety into that background and behind the walls. 4/5
I like the movement. It's just the right speed for somebody to speed through the level. But if you go slow on a level the speed might be a problem. When i do the first jump on level 2, i seem to turn quickly and miss the jump. And the jumps are ok. 3/5
Now, the Music is nostalgic, but gets annoying. The first time i'm like "Ding Donge Ding, ding donge dingodedong." But 5 music cycles later i'm like: "DIIII DOBE DIII DI DODEDIN-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!". Still i like the level 10 music. 3/5
And the gameplay, i like the idea of short levels but at around level 12, it looks like you're running out of ideas. And that's bad. Honestly, the gameplay is pretty boring. Some stuff here and there but nothing else really. You need to keep the gameplay fresh. 2/5
Overall Score: 3/5
Pretty challenging, good music, sadly i you get stuck on a level you do begin to hate the music.
This game was okay. Nothing new in the entire game.
The level layouts were pretty good, but the difficulty curve wasn't
on point all the time, in my opinion. I struggled most at the second "boss stage" than the last one, in example. But this may differs from player to player.
The sprites are nothing special but are okay too. The spikes look bad for me.
The music doesn't fit well in the game. Its good, but it just doesn't fit. But I cant exactly figure out why... :D
The controls just work. Nothing special here either. But at least they worked and felt good to me.
After all it took me 10 Min to beat the game and it was entertaining, so nothing dramatic to complain about.
I would enjoy to see another platformer made by you but with a little nice mechanic. Something new and interesting. Its hard to find feature that weren't shown in so many platformers before, I know this - but maybe you find something :)
3/5 Stars!
EDIT:
Something to mention: Your tutorial-levels for new mechanics were pretty good too and the compilation of level-designs in one boss level is a pretty good idea!
level 28 can go fuck itself.
