LOL. The amount of 1-star rating bombings is impressive. I'm honored. Apparently there would have been even more of these 1-star rating bombings if they hadn't removed 4 of the down-raters after the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
This microphone-powered game requires the physical player to take a deep breath in order to whistle/sing a note into the microphone and sustain it for as long as they can to increasingly ramp up or activate the in-game character's powers. The character is a brave little whistling tea kettle who can boil without a stove and become progressively faster and more powerful for as long as the real player keeps whistling/singing a note continuously into the microphone. This takes some deep real-life breathing and breathwork to succeed in most of the obstacles. But keep in mind that the more boiling hot and angry the kettle becomes, the harder it is to control. [Hint: occasionally, you also need to know when NOT to take a deep breath to pass an obstacle.] Note: Do not select "Oculus Virtual Audio Device" as the microphone if it shows up. If it comes up by default in the microphone selector, then close the game, change the microphone setting in windows to a real non-virtual microphone, and then start the game.
