I think the leaning was super cool, but the game all around needs a bit more feedback to make interactions more clear. It could probably be introduced better too because right after you do it, you need to start killing enemies. The game is pretty punishing with health, especially with the fall damage. I think the dialogue pop-ups telling you where you can and can't go hurt the Metroidvania-ness of it. Really cool vibe though, love the graphics and theming. Great project!
