There are two old games that I got reminded of while playing this, one was called penguins cant fly or something and the other was pebble dash/throw something on miniclip, I always really enjoy progression based games like this it is and this is no exception! The game goes the core mechanic/progression system as it should! Oh, this is also one of the first of its kind that i've come across so far!
I would say visually it is a bit rough though that's alright since we're in a game jam and the focus should be the core/gameplay which you've done nicely! 😁 Congrats on the submission!
