Good first release! Impressive!
The controls were responsive but they didn't quit seem to line up with the animations, so for smoother gameplay I'd say that is one of the priorities to get working on :D
The pixelart was pretty good for someone who's new to it, a lot better than I've seen in games over the years (and a lot better than I do myself too haha). Keep practicing and I'm sure you'll be great at it in no-time, it definitely looks like you've got an eye for detail when it comes to graphics!
The aesthetics were nice and did make the game feel dark, which was - I assume - your intention, good job!
Do you have any plans to continue working on the game?
Good luck in future jams!
