How does your game fit the theme?
You are kind of out of control where your character, a Ctrl key moves. If you get out of controls(health), you lose. Also like when your pc is Out of Control, you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, that's why the enemies are Alt and Delete keys.

I like how you combined the jump / shoot controls.  If there was another way to aim or if the aiming was automatic, you could turn this into a good one button endless game.

To begin, this game is an odd combination of what felt like Space Invaders with a platformer and it was very charming.
First things first, the game definitely fits the theme of "Out of control" as you can't move your character right to left but you can jump to help you navigate (though more than likely it will lead to your death). 
Despite this games simple looks it can get rather chaotic as you have to manage your positioning so you don't fall of the edge while also finding "ctrl packs" so you can jump and shoot at your enemies.
To add to the chaos the only way to shoot is to jump which means you have to keep an eye out to see where on the screen you are so you don't fall to an untimely death whilst trying to kill an enemy.
The controls in this game feel weird yet comfortable however I feel the fact that you have to aim with the mouse kind of comes out of left field considering the fact that your other mechanics have multiple purposes while the mouse *only* aims, in my opinion I think you should just make the shots home-in on the enemies. Other than that this game is a fun time waster that with some polish could be a very fun little game.
*Side note: I loved the sound effects for when you jump/shoot, they are delightful.

Hope to see you next jam!
