Very original concept, I liked it a lot. A similar concept of death and rebirth, although in mine you're being more figuratively eaten, by a hail of big fat laser bolts.
All I was going to comment on was the slow movement but the game is short enough that that is no issue. I liked the exposition via animated text (something I wish I'd got in).
Congrats on what I guess is your first game released to the modern interwebs and wow, Allegro - been a while since I heard that one :) Great job. I only got my first game out last year in the GDTV2021 jam... Life begins at 40 (something) for me it would seem.
