The art doesn't look rushed at all! Congrats on finishing your first jam, it really can be a challenge to follow all the way through, especially when you start to hit roadblocks or start to realize you're not going to be able to do everything you wanted.
I thought visually it was above average for this jam, at least from the entries I've played lol. I missed the blurb where it told me how to glide because I picked up the key early, but I was able to make the jump anyways. The character controller is already a step above most people's first 2d platformer. I think with a little work to refine it, maybe some more movement mechanics, it could be a pretty solid experience.
I wish I could have seen more of the narrative, I'm sure you wrote a lot more than what got into the game, that's always how it goes with gam jams. Hope you're able to keep up the progress and continue developing it.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot and I'm glad you like it. I will definitely be continuing work on this, in fact I already have done some extra work on it! I will polish up this sequence a lot and add some more interesting gameplay elements and release it as a demo of sorts, so definitely follow the page if your interested in seeing more!
