Hey!
Jellor is a level-by-level collectathon platformer with simple controls with at times difficult platforming. Each level is non-linear with branching paths and secrets to find. You play as Jellor, a peculiar cube of jelly who is simply trying to find out why there is no other being quite like him.
The game at this stage is very early in development, and many of the game mechanics I would like implemented aren't there yet - but there is enough gameplay for which I'd like to get feedback on, positive and negative.
Features and gameplay elements:
Here is the download link to mess around with:

It's just the first half of the first level, but hopefully there's enough there to critique the gameplay.
Here are some images/gifs:
That's that I guess. Tell me what you think, and especially what needs improving. Thanks for your time!

Features and gameplay elements:
- Environment interaction, including spikes, vine climbing and spring boards
- Collectable jelly orbs with values of: Blue = 1, Green = 10, Red = 50
- Simple slime enemies, jump on them to kill them.
- Jump through platforms and moving platforms
- Chests which contain only jelly orbs at the moment
- Hidden areas and routes
- 4-piece heart system, death not possible yet, so you're currently immortal!
- Aspect ratios that adjust to the screen, thanks to this tutorial:
-
- Left and right arrow keys to move horizontally
- Up arrow key to jump
- Down arrow key to fall through platforms
- Hold up to spring higher on spring boards
- Press up while colliding with vines to grab it, and hold up or down to move along the vines
- Hold left or right to jump off the vines
- Press 'X' to open chests while next to them
- Press 'Esc' to pause all instances
- Press 'F' to set to fullscreen, and 'G' to adjust window size
- 5 areas, each with 6 levels and a boss level
- Each level will have 5 special tokens/gems to find
- A storyline that I haven't fleshed out quite yet
