It was interesting but there was something that is not that good for 2d platformers. You're relying only on acceleration, so if i'm stopped and press right, i barely move horizontally while jumping. that makes the game really harder and non intuitive.
Good job for a game jam!

Nice game with wonderful music. The graphics would have needed some work, though, but they are good enough.
Played on a Linux machine using Mozilla Firefox, couldn't hear the audio. After finishing the game, I seem to get stuck on the menu screen, the pointer hands never show up.
It was a neat little platformer-shooter, delivering and receiving damage worked fine, but there was an issue where I won the final battle, but the projectiles killed me in a state where I could not dodge.
Of the theme - challenging established institutions and those who control power, it's well and good, but I was left feeling more like a social justice warrior than a monster.
Fun mechanic, I loved the fact that you used sounds and visuals to communicate what is happening (people often forget to add those!). The music fit the game well and got you pumped. The art, however, could have used some improvements. Nice entry overall! :)
On the one hand, it's just a platformer, exactly like hundreds of other platformers. On the other hand, it's the best platformer I've seen on this LD yet.

The music and sounds were fun, and the theme integration was perfect. Well done!
