Nice submission and great interpretation of the theme! Pushing through the gate feels really good because it is not instant. You have to walk into it for a few frames. I also really like the way you present the story. Two points of feedback:
- Jumping feels really floaty. This is hard to get right, but a better jump would improve the experience quite a bit.
- For sake of the demo it might be better to have a checkpoint after every screen transition. The reviewers have limited time and you want them to see as much of your project as possible :)
