I really dig the atmosphere here - great work on the music and art (love the color palette)! I like your take on the theme. I think with a slight bit of tuning, the movement would be more accessible, but I can tell your intention of having to fight to keep balance. As someone else mentioned, I think the death sfx and sequence could be more harmonious with the rest of the atmosphere. Maybe I was running into it a bit more b/c of a skill issue :D
Overall, I really like the world you created here. It feels like there can be many stories told within it. Great work to all!
