Oiiiiii, what did I just play? I feel like reviewing every game is like - oh, nice graphics, and sound, and polish and loop (and it's true, a lot of them bring a lot to the table). This one has some unique DNA and I think you should pursue the idea a bit further with more content and polish, maybe look into more than just a JAM vertical slice.
It took me a bit to get it, mainly because I didn't read game's description, I just hit play. But this is not a tutorial fail but rather a strong point, as you 'discover' it.
Concept wise, this is the game for me. GG!
