The lack of music and the dark graphics makes it rather eerie. Seriously, put some shadowy enemies in there, one-hit deaths and maybe some fourth-wall breaking effects and it could easily be one of those side-scrolling horror games.
The controls are a problem. The fact that I have to use both keyboard and mouse makes no sense. I'd recommend to put Jump, Attack and Call on Z, X and C (Not necessarily in that order). J, K and L would also be good. Additionally, Jump with W and Up would also be good. Of course, the best option would be to allow the player to set their own controls, but for a game this small, I can understand that to be unnecessary.
I am very aware of the the issues you mentioned, I really wish I could have done a lot more but let's just say we had some issues while developing so we ended up cutting corners
The tilemap is reused from another game of mine (because game jam) and is the only reused asset, and it is trying to go for that dark theme you mentioned but it is still in its early stages, I also added key rebindings to it just before the jam :)
I just need to change it from a rar folder to a zip folder now that I understand the differences between them

A fun little game, I guess.

By the way, I was sent here by StingDragon.
