Try your best when reviewing!
Here is some tips:

Say the problem:
Some people new to reviewing might struggle with this. State the problem. For example: If the graphics are bad, then explain. If the colour palette is too gray and brown, that would be good to point out, but if you just give it a poor rating without a reason, you claim will look like bogus to most.

How to fix:
While stating the problem may be good, but state the solution if possible. For example, if you say there is sound over usage, you should also state how to fix. Like shortining sounds to no more than a second, or remove some entirely, namely “filename.wav” or “evillaugh.tiff”.

Where is the problem?
Don't forget to state where the problem is most common. If you say too many reds are used, that may leave confusion on the creator, and just might remove way too many reds that were ok. If you state the it was in say, the final boss and 3rd boss, that's much better, as they know where to reduce red.

Too long, didn't read.
Go into detail, but try to avoid getting off topic or restating info you already said. It will only add unnecessary bloat to the post. It's ok if your review is short, as long as it conveys most of the problems.

Sorry I took so long.

Graphics: Great
Nice use of pre-rendered footage of a forest to create the illusion of running. But the wolf looks like it is moon walking because of the direction it faces. Either reverse the Forrest's animation, or add a animation of the wolf running from the camera.

Sound: Okay
There is 2 songs which are good, but maybe add more than the wolf howl when at the house. Like maybe footsteps in the Forrest.

Story: N/A
There is not enough to go by.

Presentation: Bad
The title screen looks awful, with the image on the right squashed way too much, and the image on the left's text is hard to read. Try and keep it to just the image on the right, but add the quote in smaller text, so the title still stands out, but there is still the nice quote. The end screen is also bad, with slopply drawn hearts and stars.

Credit: Bad
You need to give credits to the songs and their makers.
Also if I'm not mistaken, the end screen comes from Chowder (cartoon network), which means you have to give credit.

Overall: Okay
The graphics are great, and the sound is okay, but you really need to upgrade the presentation, and most importantly, give credit to the song/endscreen makers.

I played it, but use the forums properly to get a review. The OP had a survey to get it reviewed. Just do that survey.

Graphics: Poor

The graphics are basic. Just the basic colours to see what's going on. Try filling the inside of the ground with stuff, to make it look like something cool. The reason why the graphics are bland, is the scripts, but don't worry, you can upgrade them however you want.

Script efficiency: Poor
The platforming script uses Touching color, which causes lag. That also encourages the bland graphics as well. Try separating the ground into three sprites, like booster, ground and hazards. The script for the time uses wait 0.1 seconds. You NEED to divide that to 3 wait 0 seconds. This will make it possible in the case of lag. The wait seconds ignores lag, unless it's 0 seconds. It will always wait a frame with wait 0.

Ideas: Great
I like the idea of going fast through levels. The only problem, is that you need a small wait before levels. This will give me time to react to where to start.

Level design: Ok
The levels are not consistent in difficulty. backdrop18, backdrop22 and backdrop26 are way harder than the rest of the screens. Otherwise, not too bad.

Physics: Ok
The physics work, except for wall jumping. Some times, I don't gain height when WJing, and this is most shown in backdrop26.

Sound: Poor
While I like the music you chose, there is no sound effects. It would make the game so much more engaging.

Overall: Ok

The idea is great, and it could be worse. You need to fix the wall jump. It sometimes doesn't work. The levels need to be more consistent, and maybe a small pause before each level? Music is nice, but there needs to be sound effects. The graphics could be better by keeping a black outline, yet filling the inside with detail. Touch colour does causes lag, and the timer NEEDS to be 3 wait 0 seconds. I will be fine without the touch color script replace, because that would take basically redesigning the whole game. Thanks for asking for a review here. Thank you for reading. See you again!

May I offer a suggestion? Perhaps maybe you could give the player unlimited time to look around. However, during that time, they won't be able to move around. And in a corner of the screen, consistently staying in the same spot, could be a “play button”, allowing the user to start the level.
