This is a pretty fun little game, you did a great job on your first game jam! Having the option to use a controller was a really great touch, and something I always appreciate in games. It felt satisfying to play. I think a closer third person camera that follows the player would be really nice to have, along with sound effects and a pushing animation. I like the smoothness that the current camera has, though.
With the space theme, this reminds me a little bit of the game Maw by Twisted Pixel.
