First jam entry!! Great work, keep it up! It was fun to play! I hope y'all keep going and making more because it's really fun to do game jams and see what you can make.
This one I'll categorize as my fault a little, there are times where I skim through the directions on the itch page and jump straight into the game. I didn't realize that you would die if you go to fast, so I fought with that mechanic for probably a little too long, and thought I was experiencing a clipping error. I thought the gauge was a speed bar, indicating I couldn't go any faster. In future games putting UI and explanation into the game can reduce these types of errors, even something as simple as a skull icon on the gauge.
I hope y'all keep making more games!
