Nice job. I really like the title screen and the overall aesthetic. Not sure why but when I pass the half way point the bat begins to move extremely slow and there is not enough bug to eat to survive. Replayed several times and had the same issue.

I really love the retro aesthetic and the whole look and feel of the game. The white on dark background gives it kind of a gothic look. And also the use of sound. It's awesome, especially on the title screen. I just wish controlling the bat could have been made more fun. I cannot pinpoint on what is lacking but the overall experience isn't enough to make me want to play more.
Also, I encountered a crash. Here's the screenshot of the Code Error:
