Interresting idea,
great visuals and fitting music

However I didn't really know the mechanic and couldn't find anyting on that (Tutorial, help page, ...)
After picking up some controls I could still move all directions after others I couldn't use the one I picked up. Couldn't really get far, without knowing how the game works.
Is there a hidden count I loose everytime I pick on up?

A simple text on the side of each level with information would be great.
Or a quick guide on your page at least, 
You can add that during rating week

The idea is interesting. It would be cool to have a visual guide of what keys I can "still" use, but overall cool concept!

I like the aesthetic and audio. I was able to get through the first few levels with trial and error, but I wasn't able to understand how the direction mechanic worked, which cause issue when I reached the longer levels. (edit: I found the answer in the section that describes how the game fits the theme. Would probably recommend having a tutorial to explain it so people get too confused)

Cool idea but is there really no way to restart a level? When I die I have to close out the game and reopen it. Is there something I am missing?

pressing escape will bring up the menu. I was going to add a button to show that however I didn't have time
