Honestly pretty disappointed, where did i go wrong?

Results are in and I honestly thought we would get slightly higher then where we landed, almost everything is significantly worse than my last jam about 6 years ago. I wasn't expecting top 10, but i thought we would land a bit higher than were we did.

My main goal was to try and beat my previous graphics score of 186th and this time i landed at 304th. I'm not sure what i did wrong, I honestly felt like I had improved the graphics from my last game jam, maybe I've just got rose tinted glasses on.

Would love to hear peoples opinions on what I could have done differently (mainly on the art side).

Here's the game if anyone is curious:
