Hey this is awesome! A lot of fun! I really like the visual style and the music is great.
A few things I'd might tweak is that the screen shake makes the game almost unplayable if you shoot more that twice in a row, forcing you to wait a second until the shaking stops so you can see what is going on. It seems that it grows stronger with each consecutive shot so maybe turn down the maximum shake amount.
Another thing I might look into is that it's kind of hard to tell when you get hit, the number in the top left changes but nothing else as far as I can tell. Maybe add like an oof sound effect or something when you get hit.
Also maybe increase the jump height, it will make the movement feel a lot more fluid and bouncy.
I would also add a maximum cap to the enemies because after about a minute, the game gets really laggy.
Last thing, make it so the health counter is current health then max health, the way you have it now is backwards and I didn't even realize it was the health counter until I finished playing.
Again, great start! I love the art and all the issues are pretty minor! Best of luck in the jam :)

I've made an update - with a leaderboard :D it's the first time i made it for a game - but seems like uploading is disabled until Weekly Jam #3 ends.
It might have been a bad idea to submit to a jam where submission period ends much sooner than for the other ones...I can upload it next week this way. Still, fortunately the other jams will be in submission period so the upgraded version will be ready for the players.
I'm not sure what to do with the enemy count tho. If I limit it to let's say 60, the lag will go away - at least on PC - but the game gets a bit to easy while it should get more and more impossible to keep playing. I'll try to optimize the enemies first I think. Each of them uses the Navigation features of Godot with A Star algorithm to follow the player - and not collide with each other. I can imagine it dragging the framerate down.
