For anybody having issues running the game, I figured out the problem. Rename the file "GMTK Game Jam Entry (launch me).exe" to be just "GMTK Game Jam Entry.exe". The game tries to find the data folder based on the exe's name, and the rename broke that.
As for feedback, it's interesting. The depth perception feels really off, likely due to the 2D art style. Otherwise I really enjoyed it. Good job.
