I liked your choice for music which fit the mood really well.
Fun: A sidescroller that's mostly fine, but the excessively large hitboxes make the game feel unfair, detracting from the fun. Also, the game is very short.
Innovation: Not a lot - standard gameplay but I guess it's original level design.
Theme: Sure - I see it!
Mood: Good mood, thanks to the choice of music.
A nice moody platformer that you made here. The collision boxes were a bit hard to figure out at times :wink:
The trail effect felt good and the colour/light usage was brilliant.
The hitboxes on the enemy and the player felt a bit off though and I couldn't really figure out the very high jumps, so there's that. Normally I would complain about a floatiness in a platformer, but didn't really bother me in yours.
In conclusion, a very sweet platformer!
I also wasn't sure about the ending: was the protagonist implying that suicide leads to a less lonely existence? I'm not sure that kind of message will go over very well with many people, but it certainly is a heavy ending with an important theme.
