Interesting Idea. The Game has a few glaring flaws right now, that make it hard to play. The character is moving really fast and is hard to control. There isnt any barriers to prevent me from going off screen and out of the play area. The animations are very close to one another, making it hard to differentiate what I am doing with the character.
There are no instructions in-game, and I had to go through the itch page to find the controls. Consider putting a tuttorial / instructions menu, or even text in game that tells you what you are supposed to do.
Still not bad as a concept, and I see where you are getting at with your idea. I hope I am not too harsh with this review, as you guys should definatly keep going, and have some interesting and fun mechanics. Try to find out what is part of your core gameplay, and use that to make a longer gameplay loop.
Not a bad game, especially when factoring in time constraints. Overall, I'd have to rate it 3/5 right now, though that rating can go up if some of the issues mentioned previously are fixed.
Good luck! - Yaniv
