Being able to do my first game jam surrounded by Enjmin candidates like you made it a really good experience! You game is totally in the theme and I'd like to see its evolution if you plan on pursuing the devlopment :D

Really amazing! I'd have 3 main criticisms:

-the part with the hidden stairs and the balloons you have to activate so they light the way to follow is really beautiful and poetic but because of the controls and the way the playable character reacts to the player's imputs (it's a bit unpredictable and has momentum - not snappy enough IMO), it's really awkward and frustrating to play through (unfortunately)

-I don't get the part at the far right of the playable area after the slope that makes you accelerate like crazy: there's a step that's slightly too high to jump, effectively making it the end of the level [as far as I know]. Was that left so as an end-of-level because of the time limit? Or am I really stupid ^^#? I wish it was a tad clearer [I get insecure :-3]

-it's really really awesome and rewarding to light up the whole town [and neon lights and stuff :-3] but it's a shame that there isn't more to it than that... though I understand that's because of the time frame for making the game once again, in the long run I'd argue that it lacks one big overarching goal

And that's that, I'm done with ranting [for now ^^#]! I really loved it, the mechanics are interesting, the whole experience is smooth, the "electricity" effects on the main playable character are really well-made and OMG how the hell did you do that in like 36 hours, right ^^#? I also really loved the colours, especially at the far right of the playable area. Here's one more little concept-demo that would really deserve to be fleshed out one day... good job :D
