Innovative. I like the speed mechanic and the fall through bottom of world once mechanic as well.
Execution: I don't like the platforming, which is a problem in a plaformer. :) The character comes to a standstill immediately when you let go of a direction. I don't think there is grace jump, meaning I cannot jump once I've left the platform. Climbing onto platforms feels finicky, which will lead to some deaths that are unexpected, or wrong positionings that were not intended.
I didn't really understand how the game relates to the theme.
I liked the SFX, but I didn't enjoy the music loop. It's very present and becomes obnoxious quickly.
Graphics are great. Coherent pixel art, for the most part. The font being Arial hampers this a bit.
