This is my 8th time participating, I've played hundreds of games on LD, but this was the absolute best way to naturally explain the controls and premise to players. So good job on that.
On the downside, mouse controls in an embedded window always mess up for me. Pointer goes outside the window and you lose control.
I tried to fullscreen it to avoid that and the image stretched weird (that might be my fault though, I'm on an ultrawide).
Unfortunately my final health total was zero because I'm bad at this kind of game, but I loved it anyway :) (at least I've managed to play for one loop... I'll try more later, I want to see more of the story)
Really like the screaming hamster. And that the game has an ending :)
I thought the obstacles could have been placed a little better (maybe more up in the air), so that there would be a constant challenge. And then place the circles and boxes so it is possible to hit them without losing health.
Still a nice idea though

Is it music made in compo time? Amazing!
Mouse lock could make controls improve, a minor issue tho.
Loved the real animals as players 😁
