Nice work so far! But I have a few points (that you probably already know)

Add a screenshot of your game to this itch.io page!

The debug information is still being shown on screen. If you want this, put it on a toggle (like F1 or something), but hide it by default.

It would be nice if the player health (and enemy health) was more obvious.

Maybe wait a bit before going to the main menu when the player dies. It's a bit jarring to be teleported to the main menu right away.

The movement speed feels a bit slow for this kind of game. Consider speeding up the player (and increase the boost speed too).

Thanks for the feedback!
