For all intents and purposes, this is a very basic, albeit difficult platformer. You jump on dragons, those are your springs, there's another one that presses down when you walk in their line of sight like a Thwomp, and switch blocks. Oh and there's signs.
To interact with signs you press the jump key, which I find inconvenient. This is especially a problem in the first level since there are signs on top of one-tile thick pillars that are difficult to jump off. You have to be at the very edge of those pillars in order to reach a checkpoint and some chandeliers.
Later on I figured out most of the later levels can be solved just by holding right and letting the environment control you, which this game dubs 'The Path of Right'.
Turns out the whole game is designed around just holding right, even though there's nothing stopping me from walking left or jumping to access different parts of each level and find more signs written in Old English (or at least an imitation of it). On one hand, it's a very neat idea, on the other hand, "don't move" or "move right" levels aren't too hard to find in Super Mario Maker.
Speaking of Mario Maker, you used a similar tool to create this, notably a tool called Pocket Platformer. I looked into this and I found that it was extremely limited in what you can do, not unlike Mario Maker. You can change your player's speed, jump height, and slipperiness, but there's only 12 ground tiles (previously 9), 15 background tiles, tiles can't animate more than 2 frames, no 'actual' enemies you can kill and no power-ups. Although it's a decent tool for beginners, I personally wouldn't use it to make a game on Newgrounds, it's not really in the same league as Unity, Godot, Construct 2 or even Scratch, which is also designed for beginners in mind.
Anyways. One cool thing you did with this is a fast-clip, which you can perform by getting stuck in a switch block and moving in the opposite direction. And the music is good, but there's only 3 tracks. And the 'box art' looks good too.
