Well done for submitting in a game jam, that's an achievement in itself. The game looked really colourful and I can see you had a vision for where it would go. I hope you carry on adding to the game and enjoy the process of doing so!

I wasn't sure what the controls were for the game, so maybe a tutorial or list out the controls to start

At least you finished the game. If you want an advice, i think that the game lack of more challenge : many more creature, or a feature that make your move more strategic, maybe having the monster falling into trap by following you. Whatever a published game in a gamejam is better that a good idea stayed on paper. ;)

Unfortunate that you ran out of time, would've liked to see where this was going. But, as is, I have no idea what to even do :D (other than running away).
