Looks amazing, also very nice soundtrack.
You really put a lot of time and effort into this game the amount of sprites you have made is incredible.
Only 2 things that i can say for improvement,
1) less encounters or a way to avoid them, it got a bit tedious after every 5 steps(or so it felt like) to have an encounter.
2) This is purely for jams i always advice to have a web build as it makes playing so much easier, this time i playing in linux so i had to switch to windows to play, wait for download, wait for windows and virus scan and then play it. Its a small thing that does not make your game any less fun but just an advice.
I did also like that i could use both the mouse as the keyboard to play your game nice touch
