It always feels weird to me when I see games with such well-made visuals and music have such uninspired gameplay. The game is gorgeous, and is a clever interpretation of the song title, but I find the gameplay dull - perhaps fundamentally dull, in that I don't think the game would have been improved by having more interesting bullet patterns, due to the unresponsive controls and the large player hurtbox. The way it is now, it's one long (nice looking) waiting room.

One possible way to save it might be to have been to make it more like Balloon Fight's "Balloon trip", where the player has to traverse a stage rather than dodge bullets coming from off-screen. This puts the difficulty more towards planning and executing a path through the obstacles, rather than reacting to incoming bullets.

Anyway, good job! From my perspective, polished visuals is the more difficult part of making a (jam) game, and perhaps also the most important part, so I'm sure the game will rank highly. I'm looking forward to see what you'll cook up in the future.
