I like the style, and it seems pretty fun, but the last bit of the second level is pretty ridiculous. plus you seem to like cheap deaths when the camera is panning, and that's always a mood killer. I'd love to see the rest of the game but I've tried 10 times and every time I fail I go back to the start, save that for New Game+.
I didn't really see the theme in the gameplay, which is where I look for it in jams. regardless I plan to visit back here periodically to see where you take this.
