This was really fun. Super cool concept. Challenging but not impossible, which is a tough balance to strike, especially in a jam!
I only have one big complaint: if I press "R" during the the death cutscene, the level resets immediately, but I can't actually control the character until a second or two later (whenthe death cutscene would have ended). I assume this is a bug, but it was a very annoying bug.
This is your first game on Itch, is it your first game ever? Because if so, that was an extremely impressive debut. Nice work!
