The art is lovely. For me the UI "Skip" button covered the text in the beginning. I also would die at the same spot, without a visual of why I died or what to avoid.

I replayed it and it's the spikes. I think visually they didn't read as spikes but grass to me. Now that I see what they are I can avoid them :-). Might be something for future to differentiate them. Harder to tell also since the blue "Controls" stays up for me on the screen. Fixing that after the jam will probably help a ton! :-) again, great job and beautiful art.
