This was a really cool concept that fits the theme better than most of the submissions I've seen. The music was a bit repetitive, but the art style and parallax effect more than made up for it. I struggled to understand the game loop at first too. Like, I got that I was going to do a run, then kill myself, then try the run again, etc., I just didn't understand the whole flag system that it used. What might've helped would be slowing down the run speed in the tutorial until I could come to grasps with what was going on. Still a very solid submission despite my initial confusion.
