Really nice work! I'm not good at this kind of game, but I'm a sucker for the pixellated art style. Very complete experience, with an options menu, nice game-over screen with animation etc. Well put together and there seems nothing really to add/remove :)
Great stuff!
I really liked the hands animation. I'm curious, is that a 3d model, that you treat with a custom shader, or an actual pixel animation?

Some of the animations are hand animated (the ones that look worse). But the hands are 3D models yeah, I used a toon shader and lowered the resolution and anti-aliasing to make it into pixel art, then rendered them into 2D images and edited it in aseprite. Here's a pic of the model if you're interested:
