Difficult to hit the bats and dodge my own bombs at the same time. But I felt like I was getting better with every try.

I'm pretty sure I grappled a bat in mid air. The lead synth you chose is a bit piercing, so the music stands out and does not quite fit the mood of the game in my opinion.\n\nI tested the compo version, and I think the score didn't reset upon death.\n\nThe game is quite hard to get the hang of it, but once you know the bomb a bit more it becomes quite fun :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":690960,"author_name":"bentglasstube","author_uid":"bentglasstube","epoch":1620075684,"text":"I like the concept and the art is really well done (aside from the bats blending into the background way too much, which it seems you fixed post-compo).
