Cute idea; I'm a sucker for theme puns. Intuitive and pretty fun short game, though there are a few problems: You can jump outside the map! (It's not even that tricky; I did it on my second try because I thought that the corridor was a trap.) You can also get to the first spike by jumping over those two coins.
So basically you swapped around coins and spikes and called it a game. I don't really approve, and while the pun is interesting, I found the execution... lackluster.
That said, the graphics are nice, and I like how there are multiple paths to take to losing.
On the other hand, the crippling flaw in this, as well as many other platforming games I've seen is buggy jumping mechanics. You can jump mid-air while you're falling. Being able to do this means you can fall out of the level, making you have to restart the game. It also means you can climb back up from lower areas that should have been one way. It also means that you can redirect if you realize you're about to fall on a coin.
Otherwise, this is a rather complete, if simple game, and I kind of like the idea behind it. It's also reasonably fun, and the movement is snappy, and quick, and that's pleasant.
Well, in my defense: A: This is my first ludum dare B: I am still a beginner coder C: I'm probably one of the youngest people who entered D: I was very busy over the weekend.
@yapshuter63 I completely understand. A: This was my first LD as well :) B: I am also what I would consider a beginner, although you may not. D: As was I.
I liked the graphics and saw that was your first LD, so congratz for that! :D I would say that would be good if was more complex, but you justified that you are a beginner, so it is ok. I hope you keep jamming! Experience will come with time! :)

I dunno about the Winzip thing. Unzipping seems to work fine.
@johnfn yeah I miscompiled the mac version :P and they said that Unity cross-platform was easy XD

But still, thanks for the compliment :D
Thanks!

Have a nice day.
