The game got stuck at this point. I think the solution is to reset the player's speed and velocity before respawning them so they can't escape the bounding box or to check if the player is a certain distance from the platform regularly to reset them if they get stuck. Good job finishing your entry!

Beat this one. To everyone having issues where you fall forever at 6 points, you can work around that by landing on the platform before each death. It looks like the camera only catches up to you when you're on a solid surface and I think the death barriers are messed up if the camera isn't following you.
There was one part where you have to ram a cube to make it fall of the stage which is pretty fun. You also get to wall climb and there are some other interesting features in there as well.
I thought it was kind of odd that the first level made a big deal about only having one jump, but you don't even have to use it and then like 2 levels later you have infinite jumps. I would have liked to see some puzzle or something surrounding that mechanic.
Anyway, nice job!
No worries, everyone's first Jam is rough, but you've learned from it, and improved for the next time. You've learned about budgeting your time, and where you can put your resources, as well as scope. My first game jam was on Ludum Dare, so its not in my itch history, but it was a train wreck. It didn't work at first, one of the levels was incompletable, the game was obnoxiously hard, and there was no Sound at all. It wasn't a good game, we got overzealous with our attempt X)
Something happened on Lvl 1 (6 points) where ball left screen and just never respawned! Adding more and more mechanics made it interesting, I wish there were more levels to complete using W/S and final view :)
