Played your game again to see what I meant. Just noticed that it would be nice to able to skip through the intro, the restarts are also very abrupt. Dodging diagonally does work, my bad. I think I was confused that he doesn't dodge in the direction he is fasing, but the direction he's moving into. Now when you diagonally dodge, it is very easy to get stuck in the wall, which is a bit of a problem.

If it were any other jam theme the wall problem would be an issue. But it is intentional in this case. Its actually pretty useful for staying alive or unseen. As for the replaying intro, that was on our list unfortunately we didn't get the save load system in. Maybe in our post jam update hopefully.
