The music and art style is dope! I love it, super old-school :)) I accidentally broke the game though and jumped inside a wall and got stuck...oops :((
My feedback is that there is way too much writing on the controls menu/canvas, players wont typically have the attention span to read all that. Try to include that text as separate dialogue pop-ups in-game instead. Its easier to read short snippets than to read everything at once.
Otherwise, it was a really fun game, great concept and you are onto something really great here!
