Cool idea. The controls are a bit weird at first (as Dominator said, it would make it a bit easier if the character would continuously jump as long as the Up key is pressed). The platforms could do with a bit of colour to help differentiate them from the background too. Pretty cool for a first game ever anyway, congrats! :)
You need to give the player a moment to realise what's happening. Start them a bit higher up on the screen so that they can see that the water is rising without having to evade it straight away.

I think one thing that isn't necessary, but I would've liked, is a bouncy-jump. As in, keep jumping if I hold up. Not too huge a deal though.
I think it would've also been cool if you had a floaty-er jump while under water to sort of help you jump higher and get out.
Pretty nice game nonetheless!
Pretty challenging as well.
