I didn't quite catch the theme of the jam, but honestly, the game is really cool and fun to play.
As others have mentioned, there seems to be an issue with screen scaling, which prevents you from selecting the first level. However, I was able to play the second level, and I found it really enjoyable!
If you continue exploring this concept, I think you could end up creating a really fun game, especially if you decide to make it available for mobile (which, based on how the screen and controls are set up, might be your plan).
Great work, and keep it up! ^^
