Super cute looks, super fun idea! I think the concept you were going for is very interesting and creative, while also looking really well! Unfortunately I think the game needed more time in the feel-good-oven. For the most part it feels like you are fighting the controls rather than fighting the enemies. Having them slow you down is a nice idea but it also take the wind out of the sails. There is a great game in this concept and this is a really nice try to capture it, but I think how the gameplay is brought to the player would need to be readressed if you’d want to continue iterating on the idea.
Still, you did a nice job with this one!
