Cute game, congratulations for your first jam!
However, I have two suggestions for the game. First, adding a menu. This way, game doesn't initialize inmediately and player can process a bit more what is happening. Second, It's nice when players have the controls written down in the main menu, so they don't have to come back to the itch.io page to know how to play properly.
Nice work, glad you liked your first jam experience and I hope i see you in future GMTK jams!
