Took me a couple of restarts to figure out the mechanic, but when I did the game was extremely fun.
One thing I'd improve is the difficulty progression: the game is very hard and unforgiving at the start, and then it instantly becomes easy after meeting Anny. It'd be better if the change in difficulty happened gradually instead.
The bgm is very fitting, liked it a lot
Overall, it's one of the best submissions I've seen
