100% coded in lua for the Pico 8 game engine. Playable as a standalone app for Windows/Mac/Linux and Rasberry Pi.
This is a complete game, but it still might see some slight balance tweaks (that's why it's version 0.9).

Love the NES version, so this is pretty exciting!
Can you post the .p8 file as well? Would be great to try it in emulation...
Emulation will probably be pretty slow since this runs in 60fps, but it's an interesting idea when the game 100% finished.
Updates:
v0.5 More music and sound effects. Subtle mechanical tweaks.
v0.31 Slight tweak to the spring bounce cancel mechanic
v0.3: Fifth screen has been rebalanced slightly.
v0.2: Tweaks a hitbox to make two screens slightly more forgiving.
