Absolute cinema! This game's awesome! I wasn't expecting for it to go to the way it is at the end there but it was a welcoming surprise! The mechanic's fun, the strategy of puzzle and also just avoiding each creature was also very intuitive. The puzzle's difficulty is just right! It's not too difficult and its not too easy. I was gonna comment about the points but when I got to the end section, I realized what it was for and it was so cool!
I love the narrative even though its simple, its got a bit of humour and charm! The only thing that would've been better is the pixel size consistency. I feel like the pixel art sizes for the environments, enemies, etc are a bit inconsistent which is understandable in a game jam setting but it does affect the aesthetic. The music choice was also great!
Other than that, Its definitely an awesome game and I had a lot of fun with this one! I would definitely encourage you to polish up the visuals more since this has potential to be a full on game! Awesome work!

Thank you so much for playing, and for the indepth review!
That's a good point about the art, I was learning as I went and realized I had a much easier time creating character sprites if I started with a much larger canvas size. Since environments are less detailed and intended to be tiled I could make them smaller, I didn't consider how it would affect the overall visual consistency.
