Nice concept.
My biggest issue with it other than sound was the number of environmental hazards that didn't really seem like they would be dangerous at first, like the bushes.

Concept of the game is good. The instructions don't tell you enough: there is nothing about hitting things that injure you such as a bush? A bush? I think the game would be better is you edited the instruction with what i said as well as possibly increasing the health of the hamster. Maybe 4 or 5 hits instead of 3.

Okay, feedback.
One of the tacos is behind the score - bad design. The stuff that hurts you isn't obvious at all. I died several times attempting to jump on white walls. Also, bushes hurting is messed up. This is also got some very messed up parts for a first level. For instance, after dropping down - going to the left you can't get very far due to the left most broken thing that hurts you. To the right you have the bottom of a white wall and the bush that hurts you that grants only a couple pixels to make the jump without being hurt.
The scoring system also doesn't make sense to me. The first time I did it, I took ages to collect the tacos - got hit twice and collected bugger all corn chips and got a thousand something points. Thinking this would be a bad score, I didn't submit. I then played again, got all the tacos as the timer hit 16, collected heaps of cornchips and two drink shake things, and didn't hit anything - got a score of 865. =/
Things I like:
character animation
character momentum physics.
taco animation
The ability turn on and off music and sound
The first level music, nice almost sonic-esque sound
Things I dislike:
Level Design - lots of restricted paths (that leave you trapped in dead ends), areas that offer minimal gap that contradicts the idea of speed as the instructions say (especially for a first level), the taco behind the score, platforms that are hard to distinguish between being play area or part of the BG.
Scoring system - as I said, got better not trying to speed run, collect stuff and stay alive
Colour pallets - Some hue shifting would work wonders for adding extra depth, as of now all your colour ramps are pretty standard light and darkness changes, move highlights closer to yellow and shadows slightly closer to blue and you will notice a definite improvement in the depth.
Stuff that hurts you - hard to tell what hurts you, and the idea of a bush hurting an animal is a little weird.
title screen - On top of having standard light to dark colour ramps, the title screen has noticeable jaggies galore. I personally feel you'd have been better off using vector or stemmixing as the title-screen doesn't actually use any advantages of the pixel art medium. (also, what is the title screen BG meant to be?)
title screen music - didn't really create the vibe of the game, especially the grounding robotic like noises.

it's good ^^
the only thing that bothers me is, that is is not very obvious which parts of the map you are not allowed to touch... ; /
maybe some animation / slight redesign would help...

Quick Review: Level 1...
-The Taco in the upper right corner taco is obscured by the Score.
- Dying isn't too easy to do, but the fact that you can die during the bonus round is a little harsh.
The good:
- Simple but sturdy game play with good momentum physics and hit-detection/contact areas.
- comical background images and cute character.
- Classic Game feel (reminds me of SEGA Genesis)
- Clean looking animation
Keep it up!

Sweet! Thanks for the feedback!

I really love the graphics on this!
The background is really clean quality as well as all the pixels,
The music and sounds aren't repetitive and annoying, And even so there's a feature to turn them off!
The game is very challenging but games aren't worth beating if there's nothing to beat.
Overall I think this is an excellent game!
Amazing job!
