Climb trees and catch drafts of air to escape the lava!

You play as a monkey who can shapeshift into a bird.
The monkey can move side to side on branches and jump from them.
The bird can moves side to side in the air and is only propelled upwards with drafts of air (white arrows)
Lighter colored branches will break and fall when the monkey touches them, so be careful!

Controls:
A and D: move left and right
W: jump from branch (monkey only)
SPACEBAR: swap between monkey and bird

I didn't quite have time to perfect the art, and I didn't have a chance to do music, but I hope you enjoy!

Post Compo Edit: I added controller support, but I don't know if it works outside of chrome. I used a PS3 controller to test it. Plug in your controller and go to http://html5gamepad.com/ to see if your controller can be used.

Joystick Controls:
left/right movement: axis 0 (left analog joystick)
jump: button 1 (Square on a PS3 controller)
swap between players: button 0 (X on a PS3 controller)
start game: button 9 (Start on a PS3 controller)

Concept is cool, but the lava goes too fast!

Fun little game. Couldn't tell at first what the bird did, now I know. Nice submit. Lacks audio though.

Though the art was not the best, the gameplay worked and was fun as well as challenging

The space key kept messing up for some reason.

Cool game! I like the shapeshifting mechanic, the branch and animal graphics are good. Good game fro keeping you on the edge of your seat! Thanks for your submission (also your review)!

It's a nice small game. A bit too difficult from the beginning.

Pretty difficult game, and it is unpolished, but it has potential.

humor enough and have good rhythm!~ just some distance is too long between two platforms.
bytheway,if there are some music,it could be more fun and interesting.
