Impressive work for a short jam. I would have liked to see the map focus on more vertical movement to do something with going deeper. The map is fairly flat, and I felt like I could see everything right from the start.

Clean graphics. I felt it was quite slow. A lot of time spent swimming between boxes not doing much. The WASD \/ space control system although fine, wasn't very intuitive. Part of this was the need to control the camera separately. It made for an overall difficult experience. Maybe you could revisit the control scheme in a future version - the mouse could be for direction, the keys for strafe and back\/forward - like a 1st person shooter? Well done!
