Good job. I played it for a while; so I cannot say it doesn't pass the test--it feels extremely faithful and good. I can tell you spent a bit of effort to nail the physics.
I think the general aesthetic works--even kind of resembles some of the lesser box art branding for the game. But it almost seems like the artist was trying to make the art assets look bad. Why!? You did such a solid job with the game otherwise.
Clever UI control scheme once you discover it.
I would recommend at least putting the dynamite counter, if not also the lives counter, at the bottom of the screen with the oxygen (I think that's what that was?) meter. Keeping them together let's me "keep my eyes on the road", rather than darting to both extremes of the display and away from the playfield. There was one point where I was next to a wall; I looked down and didn't see any dynamites or any indication of whether I had any. I instinctively pressed down to check and I guess mentally I was not prepared to see a live stick of dynamite at my feet. Suffice it to say, I didn't survive!
