I love your distinctive art style Chole! Very cute and delicate animation on the character. It is innovative to incorporate a storyline in a dodge-and-catch (I invented this word) style type of game.
It is always better to see more interactions in this style of game. Introducing particles and screen shaking will definitely enhance the interaction feeling, I can't wait to hear your game decorated by sound design.
Lastly, hope you've already fixed, the key binding issue we mentioned in class.
