This was really fun! I think the visuals were really cool, and I loved the feeling of the enemy slide - it lends itself to some very slick sequences of ramming through enemies and then pulling off some cool jumps. I will say - for the sake of the jam, I'm not sure that having limited lives necessarily adds too much to the experience. I think just letting the player respawn but maybe telling them their death count at the end would be cool since it would make it faster to get back into each game. Even still, the mechanics are really fun - great work!
