maccawtpi rated Chiroptera (No Promises Demo)

im sorry dude i really dont wanna do this to you but this game is rough and i don't think it's right for me to not speak my mind about it

the controls are uncomfortable (i used keyboard). the hitboxes are extremely janky - only sometimes do you properly land on enemies, and sometimes you just pass through them and take unfair damage, or you avoid the hitbox entirely when you absolutely shouldn't have. the two levels i actually managed to play any part of are very unfair for new players and consisted mostly of leaps of faith that mostly just lead to other danger. what the upgrades do aren't communicated to the player at all anywhere. there's no way to reset your current run (side note, i don't think the upgrades should save between runs, it feels like a very slapdash fix for the unfair difficulty that could have just been fixed by making the first levels easier instead). and on top of that it's riddled with bugs. 

there's just so many things about this game that just don't work at all. this should not have been released in the state it was in. there's not a single thing about it you can take for granted and it's really frustrating to play because of it
