A Helping Bat

If you're experiencing performance issues playing the browser version, I recommend downloading the game.

My submission for MashUp Game Jam 2024. The theme was "A Helping Hand".

You play as a bat familiar summoned by an overly reckless mage for help against the monsters he brought upon himself. You can tell that there isn't much chance he'll survive this, but hey, a job's a job. Guide him away from danger and survive as long as possible!

How to play

• WASD - movement
• Mouse - aiming
• Left click - shoot
• Right click - tell the mage to go where you're aiming
• P or Esc - pause the game
• Only the mage can be hurt, and when he dies it's game over.
