I liked your interpretation of the theme. I found it cool that the monster kept evolving as you died, though it didn't really go anywhere, from what I could tell.
The controls are a little weird, though. Also, I had no idea where I was supposed to be going, though I did finish the game.
Great graphics, too. =)
Well done!

Great sound and music. Cool art style! Gameplay itself was not too original.

I can't get it to load either. I was able to launch it once, and the music started, but then it abruptly cut out. When I refreshed the game I only saw a black screen. From what I heard the music was nice though.

It's fixed now, sorry about that!

It was late and I was tired when I did the August 25th update with the extra controls, and I must have overlooked something.

Great art, music and sound effect.
Jumping up was sometimes a bit finicky but I still reached the end, I found the level design intuitive enough to naturally end there :)

A solid game. Fighting flying creatures is really frustrating, though, and half the difficulty comes from the fact that you can't attack and remain in place, and the said attack often carries you forward into falling.
