Thank you for playing and critiquing!  You brought up some good questions!  :3

The Song:

The version I used is listed as CC0, and the song is considered public domain in most countries as of 2019.   If somehow I get a cease and desist or something, I'll gladly change it, but I highly doubt that will happen.  The interpretation is a parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Your interpretation of the theme:

 A new beginning doesn't mean that things have to carry over from "An End".  

The idea is you get so big you become the "Earf"...which has a cat that will eventually destroy that "Earf" and become new "Earf".  

However, this is all subjective and you are welcome to interpret that any way you like (and I think that's pretty neat).  :D

The Meters:

The total destruction meter is part gag and technically what determines your chonk level.  It wasn't meant to really be taken all that seriously and was mostly for humor.  :)

Thank you again for playing!
