A downloadable game for Windows

Can you pass through this short and simple platformer? You may have 100 lives but would it be enough is another matter.
Originally this was planned to be a platformer as hard as 1001 Spikes on a good day, especially considering it had 3 lives at first to hone in on that true arcade feeling, but that was changed during level design to have more content rather than two levels that would be nearly impossible to defeat.

Controls: Z to jump, X to shoot, arrow keys to move and enter doors.

Inspired by: Concept and execution inspired by Mr. Gimmick! and Kirby's Adventure. Really good games.

Artwork & Code: Made by me

Music: All 3 tracks were very generously made by Julian Beutel. Soundtrack to all Pegjam 2016 games he worked on.

Engine: Entirely composed in HaxeFlixel over the PegJam weekend (June 17-19)
