The backstory is cool, and the animated art is really nice - the little particles when you pick things up is a nice addition to that.
As far as innovation goes, it's very unique - this idea is great in both innovation and humor.
The music is nice too, and fits the game well.
As far as suggestions go, I'm not sure I have much to add - however I didn't figure out until later in the game that I could pick up multiple things at once, so maybe that could be more clear. It might also be fun to add some enemies around the main area that you fight off while collecting things - nothing too difficult, but maybe just some little monsters or something to slay while you collect. (Idk if that would fit well, just a thought I had while playing).
Love the snowman btw lol. Also the world being a circle rather than a typical rectangle is kinda cool.
The dragon fight at the end is really fun - love a good boss battle. Using the letters from your town name as ammo is great.
All around, a well polished and very enjoyable experience. (Btw, my "Speedrun time" at the end was 5:53 - I was probably a bit slow but thats alright :P)
Good job!
