This is really impressive for your first game! Great job! That being said, I definitely feel that it was a bit difficult to control and had a really hard time playing past the sawblades. Combat also felt rather unexciting. From what I played, it seemed very linear (unlike a metroidvania) but perhaps the play area opens up more past the point I gave up at. I'm sure you learned a a lot while during this jam and I'd love to see you continue to work on this project :)
