I found the way the story is told quite compelling, although we don't learn very much about it. But you tell it a very personal way, I like that. This is also the second game of the jam I played that has this kind of shape for persons. Good work with your animations on them, that makes for a very dynamic impression!
The game play is not particularly of my taste, might be due to the way the movement feels, can't really tell. If you add more content to this one, be sure to add in more variation to the game play and more puzzles.
