This is really cool! At first I thought the buggy controls were wonky, but as I played I actually really liked them because it just felt like even the controls fit the world. In fact, for what appears to be a relatively small game on the surface, there is actually quite a bit of world-building going on here that just makes me want to hang out with the little green guy forever. Just really good vibes all around.
(Also... a pause menu?! My game doesn't have one of those!)
I could see this being expanded for sure if that's what you're looking to do. (Also, I selfishly kind of want more. If I do have a criticism, it's probably that (as is the nature of a jam game) this is somewhat limited.)
Really, I dig this one big time. Awesome job.
