It also seems that we picked very similar take on the theme, but we went in really different directions :D

I would have to fall asleep at exactly the right instant so the crescent goes through me, and doesn't kill me when I wake up. Then I'd have to weave my way out of there perfectly with my _huge_ collision bounds. I only managed to do it once... got the two keys... then wasn't able to find a lead on the third key. I tried going back that way, but when it came to doing this part again... I was like... no thank you...
I didn't get any time at all to test my game this jam... I spent 75% of the time just optimizing my compiler. Luckily, when I actually had time to play it AFTER the jam, I was really happy with how it turned out :)
Anyway, very great game!
this game was INCREDIBLY cute tho; amazing work on the art!
