Never give up.

Never surrender.

Hey, congrats on finishing your first game and entering it. Everybody had to start somewhere. One suggestion I might have though, would be to let the user know the rules of the game or the controls, maybe even on this page in the games description.

For a first game, not bad!
Don't give up, and keep on making games!
Remember, all great game developers started from somewhere!

Congratulations on submitting your first game, easily beats some of the games I've played on here so far.
I would suggest throwing in some more effects on the game if you plan on improving it, make it more clear when you're doing something bad - like say touching a spike. Either throw some particles or put a slight red tone on the screen, doesn't have to be very in-your-face.
Another suggestion would be to always drop the spikes on the furthest right of the screen, don't know if that was a bug or intended but it felt a bit weird to have obstacles appear behind you were they couldn't do anything at all.
I would suggest a simple improvement of moving the chandeliers as well, just have them scrolling at the same rate as the spikes and drop them back in when they disappear off screen, helps the illusion of movement.

Overall a great example of a first game, certainly better than the first ones I made.

Congrats on making your first game, it may be the hardest step to game development!
Your game needs a game over, otherwise it's cool enough for a firsty.
