Oh, this is cute and a great first game! I'm working on my first game as well (a top-down 2D tower defense game).

What engine or framework did you end up going with? I looked into Unity, tried Godot for a few weeks, but landed on just making a Typescript-powered canvas game with PixiJS for graphics rendering. Found it much easier doing it this way instead of having to learn a game engine.

I wrote this in Godot :) I used Unity for a while but switched to Godot some years ago. It takes a bit of work to learn the mental model, but it's quite enjoyable to use! And you just learn bit by bit, I probably just use 10% of what the engine provides.
