* Was it by design that you have to press space twice to attack? Feels like a bug.
* First I didn't realize that you could jump and thought it was not very interesting. Maybe add a tutorial.
* Balance: make the jump higher? Make the character faster?
* I found the controls a bit unintuitive and not ergonomic (all with one hand). Maybe arrow keys and space to jump?
* Floating bug:

Good effort!
Pretty quickly you get stuck in the spawn area and can't really leave.
Perhaps the pipes could have been shortcuts to the other side of the level, or up higher?
The controls felt a little unintuitive. I wanted to press space to jump.
The jump could be two units high, to help with traversing. Maybe being able to throw the bombs too!
I think you got the 20 required ratings with mine! Congratulations.
