This game is absolutely great! I love the art style and the gameplay is very fun. I love the depth of the mechanics especially, the fact that pausing your movement still keeps your momentum when you stop pausing it is really cool and feels great to play. If I were to nitpick, I do think that rebinding the escape key for a game that plays in full screen is a bit annoying for the player since they have to alt-tab out instead, and it'd probably be preferable if the music didn't restart every time you die. (The music is great, I just wanted to hear more of it!) I'd also say that the connection to the theme is a bit of a stretch, but the game is good enough that I don't really care. Overall, great job!
