So, the more tickets you have, the more aggressively the spikes hunt you? That's actually pretty clever :)
A simple way to improve the mechanics, could be to allow the player to unload his tickets during the level (which would then make the spikes passive again). But the score per ticket is multiplied the more tickets you turn in at once, giving the player a reason to collect as many tickets as possible before cashing them in. In this way, the player could balance a higher score vs. a lower difficulty.
It can be hard to keep up motivation for an entire game jam, but you ended up with a solid basis for a game, which is an achievement in itself! And hopefully, you picked up a few tricks for next time :) Better luck next LD!
