There's nothing about the game you uploaded that makes it a game - it looks like it's just a low-effort motion to just get a free course and goes completely against the spirit of the game jam.  I downloaded and played it myself - it is just a texture-painted terrain with a bunch of cylinders; there is no gameplay.  Not to mention the description of the game is completely misleading, given what the "game" actually is.

I reported the submission as invalid, FYI.

I'm sorry for my game. It's my first game jam, and I've only been learning game development for 5 days. I saw this jam as an opportunity to get a free course and improve my skills, so I created this game with the limited skills I have. I apologize for any disappointment.

Did you...post on your own game's comments and say, "very nice game"?

There is nothing wrong with being new or making something that's not great. I think what people are calling you out on is being purposely misleading. If you are new to game dev you should own it and be upfront, but also put a little more effort in at least making a gameplay loop.

Good luck.

There are still 4 days left in the jam, that's more than enough time to make some additions and improvements!

You should try to add a bit more to your game, and use some assets to improve it visually. I completely understand how difficult it is as a beginner (I only started learning Godot in October and I remember the first few weeks where nothing made sense to me), so try to find a few simple ideas to add just so there is more gameplay, as right now it just seems like a very basic walking sim with nothing to do.

And as others have said - try to find a gameplay loop. The games in a game jam are generally very short, so the way to keep the audience entertained is to add a gameplay loop. For an example of this, Vampire Survivors started out as a game jam entry. So even adding something as simple as having a timer and things to collect, and seeing how fast the player can collect them can create a gameplay loop.
