Hardest game I've ever played in a Ludum dare. I love it!

Wow, that was difficult.. lol

I got really close to the end of a complicated screen (The one where you have to go right, down, left, down, right, then straight up and it's mostly covered in lava), then I threw my keyboard out the window haha

Pretty good!

My only complaint is that I didn't like that if I die as a bat, I respawn as a bat. Makes for awkward starts sometimes.

Aside from some bugs I know you are already aware of, that was very well done. I'm not big on massocore, but I could identify that was a good example of it. I do wish that tapping the fly button was a viable strategy since I usually try to make several tiny adjustments to get through places, but that may not be what you were going for.

Oh, the music was good but hearing the same 8 bars over and over again after dying 4000 times can be a bit grating.

argh cannot play too hard

fun idea but IĀ could barely play it at all :(

Boy, I'm a sucker for difficult platforming games. This one was fun and had good style too! The only thing I would suggest is making the fly button the same as the transform button.

Damn those hitboxes are way too big for me! Challenging and very hard! I loved it! Very well done!

It would be better if you would spawn as vampire instead of a bat when you die as a bat though :)

Some hitbox issues but I like the idea ! Definitely worth trying it !

Not a wholeheartedly unique game, but it's well polished. It's rather difficult -- and you don't list the controls anywhere.

Too hard... but the rest of the game is really nice :) Graphics are cool and sounds.

The controls are unforgiving, and it was hard to get a handle on the rhythm when I would respawn with the left or right arrow still held down. It was difficult to get the timing right for tapping up as a bat, especially since I was panicking from having only two seconds of life at any point.

But the particles and sound were good, and you followed the theme, so I'm ranking those highly

Very difficult. The challenge reminds me console games from the 90'. Congrats.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
