The effort involved is apparent, many sprite animations fall dreadfully short of their potential due to cutting corners that make the animation less fluid and more obvious that the objects are just being tweened back and forth.
You could improve by making the movies slightly longer, or perhaps adding new and dynamic camera angles. It's really up to you, the sky is the limit and you have myriad potential.
Keep at it! I hope your submission does well, I'll vote it up when I can.

Voting 5 to further ensure a good entry position into the portal.
-Although the black and white visuals enhance the prominence of the audience's focus on the color red, during action sequences you may want to remove some of the white space to enhance the effects.
-This isn't criticism since I'm not aware of your situation, but you may want to use up a little extra file size to enhance the audio quality.

The only real difficulty in the game didn't arise from the obstacles themselves or figuring out how to pass by, but rather the sloppy collision zones that were setup in the mechanics, things would kill you that simply shouldn't have (I.E. a swinging axe that basically takes up the whole ceiling so you can't jump even when it should be safe to) or as others have said the pit bug where you would fall even though you were completely safe.
Another problem is the rolling wasn't definite enough, it's like a mix between standing and safety.
This game had a lot of potential but ultimately there was an obvious lack of time committed to the oh-so-necessary details that take a game from okay to great.

(I won't suck my own dick too much here if I can help it, but I'd like to point out where this criticism is coming from)
I've been doing animation as a career for about a year now (only 19, I'm not old at all myself *brushes shoulder off*) and I want you to know if I'd been reasonably talented like you are 6 years ahead I'd be a god by now.
Your animation here may not be too involved or original but when I read you were just 13 I laughed a bit, just thinking about how great you could be by the time you get to the age when most people START learning how to work programs like flash.
My advice? If you haven't already, start picking up how to work photoshop cs and learn HTML code. By the time you are 20 you could be the IT guy or animator for any company you want.
Go for it!
P.S. if you aren't 13 and I'm just thick, well keep at it anyway!

BTW - I already know Photoshop and HTML.

Sorry, not evil enough, you really gotta take it a step further than just that.

We really were not going for evil. On the stingray king, Onic wanted Steve impailed on his stinger but he got outvoted.
Would've gave people more a reason to bitch, but they seemed to not need a reason anyways, haha.
