Interesting concept. Really reminded me of Minit! Have you played it? I think an interesting twist would have been if it remembered your power-ups even after you ran out of time.
Give my game a shot if you have a chance! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462143#post-884015
Haven't played Minit, but I saw an image of it when it came out and knew I would definitely want to play it (but I wait like two years to play games after they're out pretty much). And with some players having difficulty, I thought maybe a good twist would be if you got to choose only one power up to take with you next run, but I only thought of that after the jam ended.
