The overall concept is cool, I wished there was a way to upgrade your weapon :)

Man there's a lot to love here. It's really cool that you actually came up with some solid world building for a short jam. Also it shows that you're an artist. The only caveat is that the audio restarts when you die - and this is a game where you die a lot, so I never got to hear the full soundtrack :D
For a first game, this is some very, very good work! The puzzles are solid and the idea is highly creative. You could work on making your movement more snappy and add in a zoom in/out fearure. Also, switching between planets would have been nicer if you could do it by the press of a single button instead of having to open another menu.
I must say this was one of the most enjoyable entries I've played so far, well done! The gameplay, sound and graphics really come together in a nice and pleasant way. If you'd like some feedback:
- stop the camera when the map ends, that way you avoid your players see a dark void of nothingness to either side. Procedural generation would also solve this issue
- the candle element really wasn't prominent enough
- Screen shakes would juice it up a ton
- It says you're not much of an artist, but the pixel art is really solid. Your game would profit from a more modern UI, especially considering the overall tone
overall I had a blast with this one though so keep going :)
