Very cute and you have some nice ideas. I like the animations, too. I agree that the character is too slow. Also, some parts have a low ceiling, making jumps difficult because the character hits her head.
This game has a lot of character. Overall well done in all aspects. The difficulty was pretty appropriate for me. I think polishing up the controls a little might improve it even more; I died a few times by dashing too far, so being able to cancel the dash would help. Maybe being able to grab the edges of platforms, too. I really liked the design of the two characters.
