That was surprisingly fun. Definitely impressive for a first after a long break. Welcome back.

Overall its nice and plays smoothly, but late game the grid background is tiring on the eyes at high speeds, and the people can't throw in time. I got to around 5000. It's thematically consistent and just the right difficulty for me to stay engaged. Nice work!

Definitely was entertained for a minute or two! 

I feel like this game could make better use of the momentum to make it better. Maybe a power up that makes you increase your speed, or a key dedicated to impulse yourself further.

Other than that, you have a solid entry that could expand from here, well done! 😊
