So this was that planned platformer! Not bad at all.
Though I'm far from the end yet, it still seems to offer a long and varied series of levels before you reach the exciting plotline finale. The controls were simple, though those quick time events were a bit confusing, what are they really good for? Are you supposed to press one key at a time or both at the same time? Whichever way I do it, it just seems to slow down the game and the Elf makes a little half-assed somersault, and it's just before the pick-ups so I'd rather do a double jump and get those. Well, overall, great stuff! Quick suggestion for how to make this awesome gameplay experience tenfold more rewarding: medals! Via the NG API!
Glad to see this thing became a reality.
