Neat game! The combo of some guy with explosives alongside bats chasing them does make me wonder what the underlying story is here haha
The controls felt a little off at first but were pretty easy to adjust to! I also saw that bats would bunch up behind each other, which usually meant the main cause of death would be having a bat spawn right in your path - maybe the bats could instead circle around the player, lunging at the player occasionally? Think that could add some more scaling challenge for the player!
Regardless, neat game, the particle effect when you die is really cool!
