There is a hidden suit of armer at the beginning of Stage 1-2. If you're running around naked after you jump off the moving platform, jump around in front of the first stand of trees and armor will appear ahead of you.

I played a few games, and I actually find the controls more frustrating than the enemies. I swear it doesn't jump when I push the button, and once he ducks he won't stand back up.

(the high score there doesn't count, that was from my first game when I moved slowly and killed more than my fair share of enemies.)
