The perspective is definitely an interesting twist! I'd love to know how the physics works behind this or the the world movement interaction.
However, I was honestly lost on how it fit the theme until reading your description of how it fits. I didn't know what the game was about other than the platformer aspect, which is typically just fine for a platformer. I just would've like some clarity when playing.
The art, audio and that parallax background were all great working together!
Overall, great submission!
**Edit**
Forgot to mention, a pause menu would've also been great!
