Liked the idea but got stuck in a building, good job on the entry!

You made an adorable game, fellow echolocation enjoyer :)


I think my resolution is too small because I only got to see the left half of the game, but the game itself still worked great. It was fun exploring the city and biting random people.

It's an interesting take on the theme and the look of the game is really nice, the wireframe looks really cool.
My game seemed to be... upside down? I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not, i couldn't seem to flip the view the right way. Perhaps i missed something?
Either way i thought it had a really strong look to it.  Nice job

Developer

You should start upside down, (you are a bat hanging from a tree), The first flap after you wake up should drop out of the tree and turn everything right way up, though.  

There is Y-axis inversion in the settings if that's what you meant.

I really liked your take on the unseen theme. I thought the dark night with wireframe outlines gave this game a very unique and pleasing aesthetic. I would love to see some additional game play like avoiding the archers if you decide to keep going. 

Developer

Agreed! Just ran out of time to animate the archers. :(
