Hey! My experience is insanely similar to yours, including the end of semester projects, working alone, and learning more about 2D animation from this. It was pretty hard to get a final product put together, especially because most of my experience has been using other game engines.
However, I think I'm somehow pretty happy with how it all went because I still had fun and learned so much about pixel art, animation, and music from this experience. No matter the final outcome, I think a major point of game jams is learning, and it sounds like you totally learned some new things! I really like the setting and calming music in your game, plus the art all has a relaxing tone to it that I liked a lot too.
