>I am a decent pixel artist fwiw, pic related is an older work.

If you are willing to post your pixel art assets at 1x, I can help you then. Never been able to program. I did do the pixel art for a 48 hour game jam, which was interesting because I got to work with programmers. Your game seems very simple, which is a good thing. Ours was way too ambitious for 48 hour development, we started talking about multiple levels etc when there was nothing done and the game aesthetically crashed at the end of our presentation. But I digress,

Right off the bat, I can tell you that the background and every color you chose, which include the main character, are WAY too similar. If you grayscale your game's colors, you'll see what I mean. I'm not saying radically alter the palette, you clearly have a stylistically "pale" choice in color theory going on, I can respect that BUT people are coming into your game with fresh eyes compared to you, the developer who has a clear vision already in mind. You might consider outlining some elements with a black grey or white 1px border, just to make things easier to communicate. Maybe get rid some of the detail in the background mountains and instead get more outline on the main character.
