This is excellent! I hope you develop this concept further because being locked in made for some interesting strategies; trying to plan my way to get to the boots without getting stuck.

The interpretation of the theme is like nothing else I've seen. You have to LOCK IN two buttons out of those available. I wish I'd thought of that.

I think I figured out what I was doing, it made more sense when I saw your not about the bosses, but some more explanation of the mechanics would be helpful.

I hope you'll develop this beyond the jam because it's such a unique concept. Breaking through the time limit you could really have something on the other side. Nice one!

Takes quite some time to understand it. The music is great and the art looks quite good. I'd love to see it further expanded upon. Great work!
