Cool sprites, and the movement feels okay but the camera jumps a lot which makes it feel a little weird.

The concept is really interesting, I appreciate the act of documenting this year in game form. Maybe the sprites could be somehow relevant to the story the text is telling. Also some kind of solemn music or something would be really fitting.

Nice job!

So I think the art was good, even though the animations need a bit more polish. Speaking of polish: the controls need some more too. Maybe some music would help too. For your first game it is pretty decent and I am sure you learned a lot! If you work on it a bit more you can improve it a lot!

I like how you tackled the theme, and the graphics are good (even if the walking animation will haunt me in my nightmares), but the gameplay needed some more polish: the camera snaps, quite annoyingly,  every time you change direction and you can easily stick to walls just by walking into them midair.
Since it is your first game jam, it is understandable, and all of those things can easily be fixed

Decent game! I really liked playing it!
