It looks okay. There is only one moment for input, which lets you choose beween W, A, S, D and K. If you choose any value other than K, mode will be set to 2, causing a call to :main.mode.2. From that label, you echo a bunch of lines and jump to :EOF, ending the subscript.

After that, the main script continues from the call, basically executing from :main.mode.1 onwards, which also echoes some lines, and then jumping to :EOF again, ending the main script.

[edit]

Reading it again, and correcting it. The above would be true if the call would work in the first place. But for call to work on a label, you have to prefix the label name with a colon. Since you don't, I guess the script tries to start an external script named 'main.mode.2', which probably cannot be found. So the script displays an error and continues running, encountering a goto :EOF soon after, which ends the script.

Tip: to debug scripts like this, open CMD and run the script from there. Then the window will remain open, and you can inspect a little better what actually happened.
