I didn't see the previous comments sorry if I repeated something that was already said >.<
what was hard to understand was the connection to the theme. I assumed you explained it with the narrative but i couldn't understand ..
oh I didn't notice that once I spawn I went straight back to try and jump up xD need to try that strategy.
is this meant to be played as single player? if so making both characters land on the same enemy at the same moment will be hard... but it could be a lot of fun trying to play with a friend!
