Cool idea, although the controls were quite overwhelming as you had to aim, get close enough (but not too close) to the bullets, *and* time your attacks to the rhythm. Still it was pretty fun.
Overall I liked this game, I found the concept very very innovative, but when it came to actual gameplay I found it a little difficult and struggled to understand at first what I had to do to "win" so to speak, as for suiting the theme I didn't find it suited it greatly but that's okay too, I really liked the visuals and the audio was amazing and it set a really good mood. Could do with some improvements theme and gameplay wise but otherwise good entry, well done.
Stellar audio. I was very confused once I brought the boss's health to zero-- but you're the monster, not the boss, so what you do is fittingly brutish. It's an interesting fusion of two of my favorite game genres, so I approve.
wow, that was metal as hell. The shooting mechanics were exceptionally innovative, and presented in a fairly simple to understand way. The best part of this game by far, however, is the moment where you bite off the bosses limbs and get to wear them like trophies. It was a really satisfying surprise!
My only major complaint is that I feel the difficulty begins a bit high. You have a core mechanic which is completely novel, which really should be taught early in a short, easy to avoid bullet pattern. Second,
(oops, I was going to mention that the boss health was a little difficult to read in the middle of a heated battle, making it hard to know how far along you are, but it's not really *that* big of a problem.)
I really liked the idea of biting to the beat, especially because it caused me to lose focus on dodging all of the bullets.
When the creature screams and has one of its appendeges flash red, do I win? Nothing else seems to happen... so it's not exactly clear... but I think I won :)
Great music, wasn't expecting the difficulty ramp at the end! I really liked this entry, you've put a lot of work into this and it's crazy fun too. Great job!
It would have helped from the beginning of the game if it was clarified that holding down the mouse would temporarily open the character's mouth. It was really frustrating to play the game using only taps :P.
Anyway, once I did figure that out, I did find the game to be a lot more fun and fair. I'm not a fan of the sudden respawn every time you die. It would have been nice if the death sequence was more dramatic to indicate why you've died.

I liked the way you could grow up by eating the boss, didnt notice if the wings gave any bonus though.
Took ~15 times to beat it ;)

Also, sound effects are totally missing!
