Hey =)
I suppose this is quite good for your age. My first games really sucked. And at some point you will probably say the same thing about this one =D But just the fact that you start early to develop gives you a great advantage. So here is some constructive critizism:
give the game some progression. Start with some easier challenges at the beginning, so the player can adjust to the situation and then improve. (this will require more code, but i think its a nice practise ;) )
If you don't feel confident with the art keep it simple. The moste important rule is consistency - try to make the rockets at the side use a similar art style like the other things.
Sorry but those colors are horrible =D there is a really cool website https://coolors.co/browser/latest/1 that offers you some premade colorschemes. just search for a good one and add a few colors if needed. And try to not use those extremly harsh colors... make them a bit less saturated (closer to grey) and not that bright (darker).
If you don't succeed with modelling what you want to create group up with artists. You will learn a lot more when working with people from that field. (there are quite a few people out there)
try to not think about the world in an abstract way, but like a real space. If you are standing there what would it look like? What would the things be made out of? And try to find reference images to improve your artwork.
try to avoid long sharp edges. e.g. the border of the mountains to the ground looks weird. Because in reality corners like that are the perfect place for plants and smaller rocks to grow or get stuck. Thats why you won't see many of those in real life.
Think like a designer. Always ask yourself why the things are the way they are right now. and of something seems not explainable find a way to make it reasonable. e.g. why are those platforms floating in a canyon?
I suppose thats enough for now. Keep making games! If you keep on it you will keep improving!
