Very nice idea! I like the implementation mechanism of death as a mean of the theme "an end is a new beginning". I like the platforming of the game and the feel as well. Really fun to play if you like this type of games.
Some improvements may be:
1) Introduce paul and his story in-game to the player. If i don't read the description is hard to imagine the concept (since there is one).
2) Include to credits the creators of the assets. If it's yours...then give credits to yourself!
