Well made game, but personally I find the unintuitive control schemes just frustrating to use.

Hey.
Other people seem to be enjoying getting the controls changed but to be honest I really don't think that idea works. On my first GMTK jam two years ago I made a platformer game where at every level your controls are different and in all honesty, getting your controls rerolled just isn't fun. It's really just frustrating.
I also wish the game would not start immediately after I lose as I was often not ready to play again.

Steam rolledVery nice visuals! I tried pixel art myself for the first time with this jam, but you clearly have some experience! The game works well, but I feel it would have benefitted from having some task you need to perform in order to win, like collecting all the cards in the room. Or making some dice that are spread out over the room match in number by walking over them.

Bunny HopI don't get it, but every time you die, the song plays again.
I like the idea of the ennemies you have to deal with it are cards. I just wished that each of them had an unique attack pattern, like in Deltarune's Jevil fight.

Making dice is hardIn case you don't know, there is a Jevil attack that lauches squares with a different symbol.
The ♣ shoots 3 bullets at a time at you in a spreading manner.
The ♠ shoots 8 or 12 bullets in 8 or 12 directions, I forgot how many.
The ♥ shoots 4 bullets in 4 directions, then shortly after, they spin around an invisible point clockwise that moves towards you, so those bullets moves a bit towards you too.
The ♦ shoots multiple bullets directly at you, but the thing is that the first shot is the fastest, and the last is the slowest.
I think you can make something similar in a post-jam update.
