WOW! very nice game man. you really covered all of the bases. Your art/animations were on point. the music was beautiful. The plot was amazing as well. Not only that, but your dialogue was good! A fair amount of games in the jam have good plots, but few have dialogue this good that doesn't feel awkward to read. Finally, amazing use of the theme. Really nailed collectables and there and back better than any other game in the jam. If you don't win that category I will throw a fit. I am getting so tired of everybody interpreting there and back as go retrieve something and bring it back lol (they even complain when people don't interpret it as such).
My one issue is that you respawn all the way at the beginning when you die. I eventually just gave up on the second level because I got right near the end and then died lol. I also think the hit boxes on your bullets and your character could be a little more generous. lastly, the first level where you just click the enemies wasn't that enjoyable, and was pretty difficult for me using a track pad. I think it would be cool to just make that a shooting minigame with light explosions to replace the big glows you had.
Overall, very well done. I even teared up a bit. I think you should polish it up and release it after the jam!
