I played this for a while yesterday, and it's fun! The physics are a little floaty, but once you get used to that it's not a problem. I think it's actually what sets this game apart from a lot of other platformers.

I played until round 17. I'll probably play more of this for sure.

Finally had some time to try this out. Managed to get to level 8. So you got me beat, It's definitely an ok game but the controls are a bit too floaty for my tastes and the music gets annoying - fast. But I really like the Japanese weirdness with the pictures showing up after picking up a scroll (?).
