The level where you have to swim down ended being too hard for me to make it through, the scroll speed just kept overtaking me and squishing me. fun game though!
I couldn't get it to run. I'm on Ubuntu linux, got the libraries you mentioned. I just see a black screen and have to kill the process of with signal 9 to get the window to close.
The black screen is one of the serious problems. We have concentrated on the boss levels (unfortunately we haven't made them), but we haven't done the music or menu. Just try to press ENTER to continue. The sixth level (I'm counting it with tutorial) has no end, because it has to be a boss level.

I'm afraid this thing crashes my machine (sorry :-) )
Tested on different computers with different performance and with different OS. No crashes. The black screen is caused by waiting loop on ENTER, there has to be some sign like "Press ENTER to continue".
Runs of winxp. Never got through the third level with water (the one on the last screenshot) whatever I did even if I think I've done everything all right. Black screen on the start waiting for enter, troubles with quiting the application are just few of problems. Tutorial texts without possibility to skip them are annoying. Different shield mechanics might be nice addition, but that's about everything. Weak one, especially for a team entry, you'll have to do more next time :)
I also found the part with the water you have to go through impossible. I'm not sure what I'm missing. I thought the mechanics were not a bad idea, but maybe you could have eased into it by just having 1 or 2 kinds of shields on the first few levels. Actually I use a Dvorak keyboard and the keyboard switcher didn't work when I ran your game, so the shields were almost impossible for me to activate in time. Why not let us use 1/2/3/4 as well? Fortunately you can beat the levels I beat with almost no shields, only by jumping!
I just can't remember what each key does, even if the icon is highlighted; once I am confronted with an obstacle, I just watch my keyboard, the icons, and then I no longer need to key anymore… :-)
I was about the pass on this due the black scream until I saw the comments. I suggest you that in the future, if you can't make a feature, just remove it. I wouldn't mind jumping straight to the tutorial.

It ran just fine on Win 7 x64
