I like this style! You've definitely got the retro style down, well done! The commentary on losing was a particular fun, cool!
A bit of suggestions:
The instructions in the game and the description below it are confusing, "A" does not start the game and does not change gravity, it is the letter "Z" that does it. It is worth fixing it
On level 2, to get into the pit, you need to pixel-target it, it's better to expand it a little
This is a technical explaination.
I built this game using TIC-80, which is a free fantasy console, built around Lua - and each "controller" has 8 buttons - Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B, X, and Y.
It just so happens that (A) maps to [Z] by default, and (B) to [X], and so on!
Oh, and I never noticed that problem on level 2. Wait, I did - my collision might be a bit too tight... (but... how do I make a hole like 2px bigger when my entire collision logic is built around each tile having exactly 8x8px collision?)
