I think I am missing something with how you're supposed to get through those arrows before the first green collectable thing. I literally died there like 10 times because the dash distance doesn't line up well the spacing of the arrows. I would also request that the menu defaults to "Continue" instead of "Main menu". I accidentally started over multiple times by double-tapping A.
That said, I really like the atmosphere here. The color choice is excellently cold feeling. The art fits well, and the little weather effects are subtle, but effective. The audio is also a good compliment.

Hey there, thanks for the suggestion on the menu! It's obvious now that you said it, that if there is a save game, it should focus on the continue option by default.
On the subject of arrows, you need to get the shield first so you can block the arrows. When you press and hold the shield button, your facing is locked, so you can strafe through the arrow safely, though it's not explained or hinted anywhere... sorry about that!
