The fact that I die from touching literally anything in bat mode frustrated me. Getting stuck inside walls/furniture when I'm just walking around frustrated me even further.
The style on the other hand is quite unique
The dying when you fly into a wall as a bat part was to incentivise the player to choose when to be a bat and when to walk (and plan out strategy). The getting stuck as a human part is a quirk of bad Atari 2600 collision. Sorry!
It is all 100% authentic Atari 2600. Play it on your own 2600 if you want!
