It's a really cool concept!
The art and animations are fantastic! The parallax background turned out really well. The alligator chomp was really well done.
I liked being able to use the fishing pole in multiple ways, like collecting different materials.
I think I ran into some bugs that kinda shortened the game (but it's totally ok, I get it!). I couldn't seem to catch more than one fish, and I wasn't able to collect any other materials like rocks or branches from the trees, so I'd die when the alligator came along.
The fishing minigame was fun! I would have liked to see some feedback on whether a fish was caught or not. Even if it's just a green checkmark or a red X because I wasn't really able to tell if I would get one.
I definitely want to try out the crafting if you choose to keep working on this game (if not, no worries!)
Nice work!
