balancing means, more hard or more easy ? If you want more easy then sorry bro it can be make a high score by 5 year kid. Just use your bat power pressing E. And I mentioned this already. And yes it's need smoothing as this game made in just 7-8 hours.
Pretty sure you dont get my point. Lemme break down the player experience
-Let's see what this game is about -Controls make sense, Pet power? i wonder what that could be.. Ill try it out -*starts game* oh im on a platform.. it's fading dark.. oh now im falling?? what was i supposed to do?? -*plays the second time* only one block is still green, maybe i have to go there *presses shift and goes there only to realize it was too far away -*plays a few times, sometimes you get lucky and the end platform is close, but more often than not it's really far* -*presses E* ohhhh i can fly on this bat???? and i can sprint too??? wow thats a good feature. and theres a fly count? so i cant fly more than that -*plays a few times with the bat power and eveerything goes smoothly until you run out of the number of times to fly* man, this game is impossible -*leaves* Let's play something better
Key Takeaways:
-The time it takes for the platforms to disappear is really low compared to the players reaction time -No indication for the platform until it's almost falling down -The sprint takes too long to regenerate -Sometimes even sprinting to the end point wont get it so you have to use your bat power -You succeed a few times and get the high score to 5-10 but then you have exhausted your bat powers so it's literally impossible to reach the end platform fast enough -You die
Hope this has helped you realise the flaws with your design. It quite literally doesnt work out. The game cannot be categorized as hard or easy anymore. It quite literally is impossible after a certain point. Balancing means making the game possible for the long run so that the high score makes sense instead of just depending on the game to give you the platforms closer to your player all the time.
Yeah I got it. Thanks for detailed feedback. I will keep a note. And the point is it's have the theme handle with Care. So you have to use the powers carefully. And you get 1 bat power every 40 sec. And yes if I add some direction hints that will be much better and some prologue. BTW thanks again for your feedback.

Nice idea, game is not bad but it has bugs needs to be fix.
Game needs time balancing and smoothening

Also heres a bug, your player can get stuck under the platform if they use the bat abilities while falling and the platforms appear
