hi Thom, Everyone has brought up many good points. Here's my thoughts. Keep it as a side scroller 2-d version. But at the same token keep in mind if a 3-d version in the future is feasible. Only you know how much coding is involved to make it so.
Another option for the save feature is : 1. You are to complete so much of a particular level and then you will come to a save point where you can choose to save or not. If you don't save and die then you have to start all over again. 2. At the end of each level then and only then can you save. Thus adding to the difficulty of a level and the game. 3. Put in a save option as others have requested but have this in mind, you only have 3 lives and once all lives are gone then you must start the game all over again no matter what saves you have. This way if someone is interrupted they can save the game and come back to it where they left off. What does everyone think?
