To the Beat of the Mountain King

This is my entry into Ludum Dare 50, where the theme was "Delay the Invevitable!"

It's a simple rhythm game. Flee from the Mountain King while you can, but you're only delaying your inevitable death. How long can you last?

Press the keys that scroll along the top or the bottom in time with the music to survive
