I am not sure EXACTLY what was happening all of the time, but I got to the point where abstraction was helping. Some cool, unique elements to it that I really liked.
I enjoyed the disjointed 8-bit sound track, and whistling was a neat mechanic. I did get lost after clearing the first jump, and didn't know what to do after that :(
man i loved the hell out of this. the whistle sound got a bit grating after playing a bit, especially on the later levels where you're constantly bouncing around on invisible platforms. you really have to spam it too much for that noise!
Interesting mechanic, although a bit tough to figure out (still not sure I get it entirely). The audio was cool but thee was one note that it kept hitting that reminded me of the sound a speaker makes when the audio program is glitching out :(
Apologies for simply echoing the sentiments of so many others, but I also found this game pleasantly confusing. There is definitely potential here for a fascinating mechanic, I think it just needs a bit more polish to be made at least slightly more comprehensible. Then again, the confusion almost feels like it improves the experience somehow, so maybe perfect clarity wouldn't be suitable for what you're trying to accomplish?
@dreamlogician: what I tried to accomplish is to force the player to use a confusing abstraction of a simple as possible world (left screen) as a helping mechanism to guide him through the world.
Wow, in the beginnig, it was really confusing, but as soon as I found out what was happening, I really enjoyed it! But on the other hand, it got a bit boring after a while and the audio pretty annoying.

really damn fun, though.
A sidenote: On Firefox I was getting only 6fps, but switching to Chrome got me to 59fps.
