I like the art and the gameplay! The game also felt balanced and fair. When I got cornered by the monster in the first section, I was able to take advantage of its aggressiveness by hugging on one side of the wall, then rushing to the other side before it could catch me. The maze was also wide enough so that I could escape the enemies without too much trouble.
Edit: I made a video of your game. It's at the start of this video.
