Great job on the gameplay ! The first area was craaazy hard for an intro section and took me 30+ tries ( I'm not good at any platforming tho ). The music was way too repetitive for my taste but the pixel art and overall visual were nicely done. I spent way longer playing then I intended so I can confirm you got me hooked ;)
Biggest concern: I don't see how the game ties into the theme at all tbh ^^
