It's an interesting idea but the execution is really not there.
From the game feeling quite random (since controls are fast it's hard to keep track where you are moving when you can't see the player) to the game just being a bit off (weird controls for shooting, would like to press a direction and automatically shoot, hard to start the level because jumping is super fast.)
I also don't see the theme in it.
But I think it could be a cool game if the implementation was better.
