I do believe they are sprites. Certainly not old school ... but sprites none the less. It's possible to make such fluid movement with sprites if you take your time to create each sprite.
Now: I played the betas. Not a bad start. However, there are a few things you may or may not want to fix:
-When I died, the program closed. I suggest you change this so that it starts you again at the level opening.
-I attached a screenshot of what happened when I jumped at the wrong angle at the platform. Although with a single picture it's hard to tell, I got stuck on the side of the platform (though not permanently, pressing left got me down). This also happens on the lower platform. I don't know if it was intended, but... I thought I'd point it out.
And though I can't find it again, there is definately a picture on the web somewhere of Abe's individual sprites. If you hunt hard enough, you'll find it.
Lastly, I'd like to be a tester for you. Good luck!
