About Aero the Acro-Bat

Aero the Acro-Bat is a platforming game set in a circus environment. The player controls the bat Aero, whose objective is to thwart the plans of the antagonist Edgar Ektor, a scientist aiming to eliminate amusement.

Progress is made by navigating through levels filled with circus-themed machinery. These include catapults, cannons, and moving platforms, which aid traversal. The player must also avoid hazards that can end a life.

Scattered throughout the stages are collectible items such as keys, clocks, cheese, and soda, which provide various benefits. The core activity involves precise jumping and the use of environmental devices to overcome obstacles and reach the goal.
