Nice idea. I tought that going backwars was something bad but I understood it was a mechanic of the game, great implementation! I had a few issues with movement, like not very solid control on certain points. Also when you are going backwards the camera is too close to even see what it comes from behind you. Thanks!
Is my first jam also, I leave you my game! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/724798
