Batty

Batty

This game was made for the 2025 New Mexico Game Jam. You are a mother bat. Your babies are hungry! You must get food. Each night you must hunt, using your batty sonar to both find and stun your prey.

Controls

Arrow keys to move 

'X' to send out an echolocation pulse

'Return' for options 

Gameplay

You must stun the insects with your pulse in order to harvest them. Hit each bug with two pulses to stun it. A bug that's been hit once will have a small dot above it. One that's been hit twice will be stunned and slow and disoriented. Perfect prey for you! Then simply fly into them. Bugs that haven't been stunned are not edible. 

Some bugs (red) are invisible to you until your echolocation reveals them.
