Really cool game! Liked the attempt to visually depict the instructions. Really loved the giant cloud that comes and you have to kill it, that's really awesome!
The thing is though, somehow, I didn't get how to play it, even with the visual depictions of what to do and the controls on the itch.io page. There's something about a recipe, but nothing ever shows up in it.
Even the pickaxe thing, I figured out that you should pick it up, but I actually think even this might be better to make more obvious somehow just in case, I think currently it's something that might be easy to miss as well.
The problem is I think you're supposed to craft the stuff together like the wood and the rocks. I can chop the trees and get a bunch of wood, but not sure what to do with it. Only thing I can do is throw rocks at the boss by sellecting with scroll wheel and then left clicking. Or just dropping it byusing right click.
Also, there's some minor bugs that could be cleaned up, such as that the game crashes, sometimes as manytimes as twice in a row, if you exit the game (in any way, whether by going down and leaving in the beginning, or otherwise) and then try to launch it again. That might discourage some players from playing the game again, but it's not game breaking enough in my opinion to warrant any update or fix during the jam, so it could be considered for after the jam.
Other than the above I really liked the visuals a lot, the area is very large and the game is pretty unique and fun, nice job on it! I might consider to play it again with some clarification about how you're supposedto play this game.
I am not too sure exactly why it wasn't clear to me or what to do about it to improve it, I'll see if I have any idea why that might be after some clarification.
