This was very well executed. I commend you good sir.
My only complaint is that it seems too short. Once I finished the game I felt absolutely no desire to start all over over and have to rebuild my stats yet again (not to say I won't do it again some other day).
It would be great to see more of this. Maybe some added variety (you know, like, something other than just grenades, maybe some more stages.) and the ability to just keep going, with increasing difficulty.
Far be it from me to tell someone how to do something that they're already doing well though.
4/5

This game has what it takes to be something great, however I find it to be lacking somewhat.
First, the biggest problem I had was with the music. Such a small music sample (and only a decent one at that) put on a loop is by no means a quality soundtrack, and it definitely brought down the sense of epic scale you appeared to be attempting. The fact that there is no way to turn it off save for completely muting everything adds greatly to this problem.
Other problems I had with it were minor, such as collision detection problems with the floating blocks, and the gems bouncing off of the screen.
Also I'm unsure as to wether or not you can actually get a "game over" on this game. If not, I think that should be rectified, as it lowers the intensity of the game, and along with that there should be a way to recover health (I think your best bet would be having a portion of health replenished for each level up).
All that being said, I think this game has an amazing concept, and is only a few polishing touches away from being an extravagent peice of work. For the most part you've come up with an ingenious way to balance a game that consists of one long boss fight, and I feel that it carries an innovation with it similiar to that of "Shadow of Colassus" or something along those lines.
Great job man, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

This was a very well done flash parody, and while the style is a familiar one, it would obviously be remiss to discount you of any creativity. I only reccomend that you don't include 'awesome' in your title, so as to seperate yourself a bit from Egoraptor. It's one thing to be inspired by him, but is it really necessary to use his signature titling as well?

You might have a point, but I think it's more of a label to say "This is a parody"; and if I would not include that in the title, I'm sure everyone would hate it for being a rip-off for the content. With this name, your sort of have an excuse for ripping something of. And some like to call that parodies. Haha.
