The regular controls W, A, S, D and the arrow keys. I apologize for the quite sloppy movement; I've only been coding in XNA for several months and I also just learnt tile maps and tile map collision just last week - which is the main reason for the sloppy movement. Anyway, enjoy :D
You will need to download XNA and the .NET framework. Before you say: "What?! A download!" You might as well download it because you might need to install it in the future anyway as many games use xna in this compo and outside it as well. (DLC Quest, Super Meat boy (I think), Dead Pixels, Capsized and Terraria. It's very popular with indie game devs.
The game is pretty nice. I liked the idea and the music. But It is too hard I think (I couldn't even pass the first level). I also liked the possibility to kind of stick to the ceiling. Please consider giving a download with only the .exe and the assets in a zip without installation (installing is pretty annoying).
Thanks for the feedback, guys. Regarding just giving the .exe with the assests, I put them in a zip file but for some reason the setup.exe and the other stuff still shows. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me :)
Like others have said the collision detection is not perfect. You can stick too the ceiling for a while and picking the right starting position is key to completing most levels.
I do believe you have put a lot of time into testing the levels considering how tight the timing in them are, looking forward to your future games if you continue with the same attention to details.
I like the idea and it is really fun! :D A bit too hard (I'm stuck at the first level :P ) and the music is too intense, other then that it's an awesome game!
I found this idea to be good, though the game is a bit glitchy and I could not pass level 1 :/ I featured this game in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvnhwc_j5Mo
Not sure if anyone will see this, but: Did anyone download the source of this game before the link broke & still has it? I've just opened it up to improve some stuff & for some reason there is a game breaking bug it; I hadn't even touched it prior to open it so I am clueless to what happened to it. Anyway the source of the LD version might be able to help me out :)

The controls weren't that sloppy, though, especially if you've just learned about doing the collision stuff. Keep working on it! :)
