What's the best move for black?
This is a danish gambit and you just completely fell for it. It is where the opponet gambits low-key every pawn.
wdym?
accepting the danish gambit proves to be better for black, but it is pretty difficult to play as black, compared to white. hence, the move d5!? aims to give back material to fight against whites active pieces. infact, after bxf7+ kxf7 qxd8 bb4+ qd2 bxd2 nxd2, black is perfectly fine

Ok one of the first things I noticed you needed to work on was both the opening and development. For ex: ka6 was just a bad move and it put the knight on a square where it wouldn't do much. The whole point of the opening is to develop pieces towards the center. Not only that but on the 14th move you ended up putting the knight right back which was a waste of tempo. Also try getting your pieces out before you put a pawn in front of them. You practically just self sabotaged your development by blocking your own bishop unless of course you were to fianchetto it.
You also still have to work on blunders. For ex: on the 23rd move you should've played c6 which would've added extra protection on your bishop instead of "threatening" the queen. Looking ahead of time also helps avoid a lot of these mistakes. For ex: On the 24th move you pushed a pawn which let your opponent win an extra pawn after a couple moves. While pawns don't seem that important in lower elo they can become a winning advantage especially in the endgame. This also applied to your 31st move which just ended up losing another pawn. Just focus on not blundering, looking several moves ahead, and working on development and openings.

Sure! However It would be easier if you just sent the game showcase here instead of the link. I have instructions on the first comment if you need them
Sorry I was using the app and didn't know how to send it.

Np! However in this game I actually didn't notice any mistakes. I could be wrong of course but apart from a checkmate in 5 on the 15th move there weren't any mistakes and tbh right now I don't blame you for missing them(qd5+ Ke7 ke5 Ke8 qxf7+ Kd8 kc6+ Kc8 ba6# is the checkmate if you wanted it). You did pretty good spotting your opponents blunders and taking advantage of them but because I couldn't really find any mistakes here I cant give much advice. If you want you can send another game and I'll review it as well.
