I had some fun with it, kudos!
Nice one, have a duck :duck:
My main crit I think is that either picking up the boxes stops the player or else make it possible to select the roguelike traits without using the mouse. The number one way I was taking damage was from clicking something and then darting my hands back to the keyboard.
Small bit of advice: Getting hit doesn't feel like it has enough impact. The sound effect is kind of soft and there's not a lot of visual reaction. Making it pop a bit more would add a nice bit of polish.
However, this game seems to have extra depths in it. After game over menu pops out, it is possible to resume playing and finish the game.
I also ended up discovering a bug, if you had regeneration and collected a new powerup you could just wait to heal completely before moving on as the 15 second timer didn't seem to stop while everything else was paused.
Anyways, this is a pretty nice submission for a jam and I liked the art style!
