Nice concept well in the theme! Sounds are nice, but become really overwhelming once you have 10+ bats, it's always a good idea to add a volume slider so people can tone it down easily. Also game becomes incredibly easy once you have many bats, so bigger waves of enemies would be nice closer to the end for the challenge.

Ha, nice game! It would really improve though if you could quit using ESC.

Interesting game. It was easy to understand. I would have liked a little more feedback on how effective my attacks were. But all-in-all a solid entry. Good stuff :8ball:

I liked the "ouch" sound when you get hit lol. I wasn't really sure what the followers were for? They didn't seem to be doing anything. Good job on having multiple kinds of attacks and enemy types!

What I want to say.. Maybe graphics and audio is on a base level here but it's not the main thing that we need in tower defences like this. We like game mechanics, upgrades and waves of enemies. SO I like this miniature:) Hope you will have have more practice in tiles and pathfinding and UPGRADES in next LDs~_~ (Also this green grass is rly bad and I tell you 'cause I drew the same xDDD)

It's not very clear that the followers increase the mana regen but once I got it I managed to have enough bats and win.

A quick hack for the graphics, as someone who knows very little about graphic design I find it helps to take a palette from [lospec](https://lospec.com/palette-list) to get a more coherent result.

It is quite satisfying once you manage to get your bat army large enough, noisy though.
Some information on what each thing does would have been helpful. It was quite easy to win once I did figure it out.
The fireballs seem to have a weird delay, and its amusing they just stop once the target is gone.

@jnw they increase your mana regen per second

An in depth control scheme in the description should be added to help new players. Sound effects were a bit unbalanced but not bad at all. :)
