Wow this game is hard. It is very impressive that this is your first jam entry. 

If I can give some advice, you should fill out the itch page, preferably with some description and how to play, also add screenshots etc! I think you're missing out a lot on people who do not click on the game because they can't see the nice art without starting it. You need to really stand out for people to notice a game among 10600 games. 

You can still do that after you submit (the only thing you can't change are the game files). Sorry this comes so late into the rating period, but hope it helps for future jams.

I like the art, and I love the talking skeleton ;p

The text could stay on screen a little longer, or the player could click to continue when they are ready.

The upgrades are a nice addition and give you a reason to try playing things in a different order.

The gameplay is interesting in my opinion. I think that the flow at the beginning of a run could be slower a little bit and then get faster as the run go on. Also the resolution and the texts are quite small.

I like the minigames overall, but I would appreciate more communication on both controls and objective, as I was quite overwhelmed on the first few attempts. The upgrade mechanic was a little bit too complex for me to fully grasp and plan around as suggested in the game, but apart from that, good job!

Great style and art, but I might be a bit slow, I think the minigames need some explanation of the objective and controls + maybe increase the screen resolution? The text is a bit small on my end.
