Attention! This is pretty buggy game, and we apologize for that but we think our vision was there. I hope that you will at least give it the time to understand "what" exactly you are playing.
UPDATE: We've been getting some weird reactions to the content in the game, so I thought I should add this little disclaimer.

All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Also: the goal is to collect flowers! Let us know your high score (mine is 11).
UPDATE: if you find that you keep getting sent back to the beginning of level 1-1, there are two strategies to avoid this.
a) rage quit and leave a comment to that effect
b) don't jump diagonally up when standing in a right angle corner ^o^//
Sorry, the collision detection has major problems (as you know) and what is happening is this: when you are standing in a right angle and jump diagonally towards the wall (or pipe, or stair) the collision resolution throws you back into the floor. You get sucked into the ground and die (which, in 1-1 puts you at the start of the level). My apologies, and I promise I'll make better collision detection next time :)
I couldn't stop laughing at this. Really funny. Got stuck in a block once though. Also could use with way smoother controls, some variable jumping maybe. I got 8 flowers. Saw 3 more before i got stuck though. So I kinda matched your highscore
Are you asking because you know we are in violation, or are you just curious? If you are curious, perhaps read the rules: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules/
I just kept getting reset to the beginning of world 1-1. At first I thought this was some sort of gimmick, but after I tried all sorts of things - falling down the gaps in the floor, trying to go down pipes, running as fast as I could - I just kept being reset. It didn't seem to happen at any particular time - sometimes it was when I was near the end, sometimes it was right at the beginning.
Sorry about plugging it here, but I've uploaded a new version of my game that includes GLFW (or you could download the SDL version). That should fix the linking errors and allow you to play it.
Concept is, well, interesting and pretty damn funny. Yeah, the controls are a bit off -- and at one point I somehow got stuck, quite literally, beneath the surface. If that wasn't a bug then it's a wonderfully cruel joke.
I managed 11 flowers before getting stuck in a floor. That was unintentionally funny, but there was a lot of humour in the concept and game that I really liked!
It would be interesting to see just how far you take this idea, although I guess there would be legal issues.

As for your game, well... o_______O
There is another Mario clone where you fall through the floor most of the time. You got ground detection down ;)
I got 9 flowers before I got stuck in a wall. Amazing amount of secrets in this game.

Like the re-imagination of the game.
