Agreeing with some other commenters about the controls - I think you could keep the control scheme the same, so long as there's an intro system to get used to it before just jumping into gameplay. Once you get the control scheme down, it feels alright to play, just need to give the opportunity to practice.
Music was really good, Luca's been all over the place this jam, so that's not really a surprise.
I think it's a little weak theme wise, but at the end of the day, sticking to the theme isn't really a necessity for a jam unless you're actively trying to score well.
Would be cool to see the team come back to polish and expand some mechanics, cause it's a good starting point otherwise. thanks for submitting!
