This is a great start, but I wasn't able to get past the second room, maybe I missed something? In the first room I was able to talk to the death character and get the flames to go to the second room. In the second room the character asks for yummy treats but I couldn't collect any, there seemed to be only more flames. Did I miss a door somewhere?
Overall I like the sprite design and the background music is a nice kind of minimalist approach.
