Personally, I think the game wasn't very fun because it was extremely repetitive and provided no real challenge. However, you did closely follow the theme and had a good music track.

While I didn't love the game I think with more time and more challenging content it could be fun. I thought it was interesting, that it's turn based, but it's not really obvious where the squares are on which you stand and the camera moves in a slightly delayed and annoying way.
unfortunately I'm unable to download this, when I try to it just shows an empty page that says "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. Please try your request again later. Why did this happen?" You might want to host it somewhere else like on google drive, or itchio.
It's frustrating to tap each time to move and that the game restarts every time you lose. Keep improving.
Not bad, but I feel like it's a bit clunky.
The way the camera moves is really distracting. Sometimes you don't even know where you are anymore because it's so sudden and at seemingly random times. The constant tapping to move also pretty annoying because of the level design. I don't mind turn-based games, but the levels are far too big and open with nothing in them for this to work.
The levels also look very similar. I didn't even know if I progressed or the level restarted sometimes.
Overall it's a good attempt, but needs a lot more polish. Good on you for finishing it though.
So I'm not sure why you opted out of humor because I was going to score you high on that "filthy humans"
The controls are passable, but man the camera made me nauseous. It seemed as though time progresses when you move so if you stop, the "filthy humans" stop as well. Or maybe that was just random.
Overall not a bad entry at all.
This is an interesting game.
The only things are that the movement is a bit clunky, and it's quite easy / short.
It certainly has potential though, and if it was longer, and got progressively harder as you went on, this could be quite fun.
Well done on completing your first ludum dare! And good luck for all future ones :).
Good work for your first LD! It did seem a bit short though (although part of that is the fact that you had to delete that one buggy level), and pressing E seems a bit redundant. There are no cases where you wouldn't want to pick up a chest that I can see. Additionally, something like a minimap or a human direction finder might be a good addition as well.
