I really like the implementation of the theme here! It isn't forced and fits into the game nicely. The game also controls really well, and just the overall gameplay is awesome.
If I could make a few changes though:
- the soundtrack gets repetitive after a while, but I understand that this may be due to the jam time constraints
- the spikes seem a bit too unforgiving, more than one of my runs ended because a spike knocked me back, off the platform (I do not mind them serving as a punishment but that just seems too harsh)
- personally, I would limit the slide ability for the sake of realism, so the player can't just slide everywhere even though they have no speed to do so
Overall a very nice game though, the quick and smooth gameplay makes for a really great game loop.
