So my two cents. Awesome job. I wouldn't have been able to approach anything like this five months after I started teaching myself to code.
I don't know how anyone could watch the vid and be so cynical about the choice of game, language or library. It's a clear example of autodidactic exploration.
Might be interesting to think of different and/or bizarre ways you could potentially alter the game mechanics as you go along to create a new experience. I like those kinds of exercises because they help me think about structuring things in a decoupled way so I can arbitrarily modify part of the mechanics without having to rewrite everything. Might be a cool/informative exercise if you keep playing with the game.

Have you seen the portal gun mario? [1] (I hadn't until five minutes ago; link stolen from a comment down the page here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7284719 )

Either, cool project.
