The gameplay is fun enough, but I feel like you really have a unique style and some interesting narrative ideas (why are the slimes saying "Wassap!" to me?). I couldn't figure out where to go after getting the knife, and I spend a good 20 minutes looking around. Wasn't sure what looking up did, but I saw it has a unique sprite for the motion. Music was very fun and made me pretty nostalgic.
Really enjoy the bits of irreverent humor that reminded me of Undertale. Felt like I was trying to find some way to have more conversations.
Overall, I'd say that the platforming gameplay kinda felt superfluous and not needed. It's fun enough, but my favorite moment was just conversing with that (tree? fleshwall?) dude. I didn't want to kill him! Could be cool to maybe have another way around? I had an option to ask him to move aside, and well, trees can't move so I get why I had to stab him. But would be cool to have an option for non-violence. Or that tower of basic enemies, which could also have made for interesting dialogue. I'm just a bit sad that a really hard jump kept me from enjoying the worldbuilding. Also, controls could be a lot more streamlined, since a lot of the bindings choices are a bit confusing (down is interact? Up makes me look up?) Great start! Character designs are quite strong, which makes me want to learn more about them!

EDIT - I ended up getting farther and was happily greeted by more interesting individuals! I'd really lean into the silly dialogue and strange forms of roadblocks.
