To start with... the beginning sequence hurt my eyes with bright colors. Try to avoid blinding your audience with MS Paint skills.
On a kinder note, for a generic first game, this one is ok. While i say that, i admit, i haven't released one myself, so good job on that.
One thing that bugged me was the fact that the main character picked up the inventory items from across the room usually, and then walked over to the empty space where it was. Sort of a first timer glitch and easy to fix.
