Cool. Very nostalgic and short. I think the font might be a bit hard to read, but I think you did well on this project.

All art assets except the bg tilesets, font, and start screen graphic were made during the jam by the team. The intro crawl is actually summarized text from the emerald tablet, a foundational text in ancient alchemy. Ideally, the player would know they have the option to click and skip that text crawl. That's my oversight, and a note has been added to the controls in the game description.
Thanks for your compliments to the art and your constructive criticisms! I hope you'll stop by the game page someday in the future, once we've fleshed this project out some more.
Thanks for playing!
The version we submitted at jam deadline was far from what we envisioned as the final game, let alone anything resembling a minimum viable product. The completed vision for Prima Materia would include movement and attack upgrades that could unlock new areas or defeat progress-blocking enemies more easily. Ultimately, we were aiming for something like a Metroid/Zelda mash-up with bullet-hell elements. We would like to continue building on this iteration of the project even after the jam ends, so follow for updates if you're interested in seeing a more finished game in the future!
