 From what I can tell from your attributions, your game was drawn entirely by yourself and I commend the effort.  I can appreciate your effort to use multiple styles and blending modes in your art as well. I noticed that your music doesn't loop if it finishes playing during  the level. Your game could use some work with readability like for example I could very well see players only being able to know that they have a limited number of rocks when they run out of them because there's no indicator to tell you any different. Additionally, your health indicator is very small and the readability of it is very poor because the actual value of it is hidden behind the characters portrait, and the coconuts that fall are behind the trees they fall from, but I suspect that's a bug. I can see your work as a UI designer shining through in your menus,  but you still need to work on your readability of your non-ui elements. For a first solo effort this is good and I would look to sharpening your programming skills (remember stuff that you make with chat GPT is only valuable if you know what to do with it/how it works) as well as looking deeper into things like game design and game planning. A good tip for game jams that I came up with is that "your first idea is everyone's idea", ie the first thing that pops into your head is the first thing that popped into everyone else's head and it usually pays to scrap the first idea you have unless you can tell it's markedly different from what an average person would think of. What you've done with the idea isn't bad, and in truth, you're execution is typically what matters most, but I think a tropically themed platformer is something that people thought of very quickly for this Jam, particularly because Platformers are the most popular type of game.
