I think this really needs a passive tutorial.  A few quick levels to teach each aspect because there is a lot going on in the first level.  I constantly felt punished for not knowing how something worked when I would encounter it.  Overcharging killing you / jumping draining energy that monkey shooting energy? I think that was happening.  The power up that shoots a beam.  It was all introduced way too fast IMO.

That character is freaking adorable.  I love it.

This text is too small to read:

I felt like I had to press "Z" a bunch of times to get the game to start.

I gotta say, I have no idea what's going on.  I know I'm supposed to press "Z" to do something, but I can't figure out what it does. 

It seems like it has something to do with the ability to absorb attacks and use them to proceed but the game desperately needs a tutorial.  The words at the beginning are not enough to figure out what to do.

Also, I don't "get" what energy is.  Can I run out?  Does it disappear?  When does it get used? 

My character can make a lot of jumps to platforms it doesn't look like he should be able to reach.  The only reason I'd try is there wasn't any other possible way to proceed.  But I think the 3d effect you're giving to the ground is counter productive. 

Overall I was confused and didn't know how to play.  Was there a tutorial that I missed?

Too hard to understand all.
You can't put all from start, you need to introduce 1 by 1.
No mobs to learn each skill and text to explain it.
What is energy, when is wasted, how to recharge...
