Just played and rated your game!
I really liked the concept of the bat and the visuals, and the art style was also really good. Overall, loved the game.
Very fun! I like playing as a bat :) The narrator was a nice touch too. Good job!
It was really engaging to plan where I'd use the mandrakes and to build up the muscle memory to learn the maps, saving resources in the process. The dialogue of the narrator definitely added to the atmosphere of the game!
Feedback: In level 2, I fell into the pit of spikes, and maybe it was a glitch(?), but I ended up falling out of the map and being able to access under the platforms on the left side of the level. The volume of the music was sometimes a little too high, and the narrator a little too low, so it was hard to hear the lines. The mandrakes released would sometimes go too far up, not giving me any useful visibility; so there were a few rounds where I sat and learned the map, how far to move on certain platforms, and where to release the mandrakes.
All in all, a fun and engaging game that incorporates classic platform mechanics with a puzzle + memory aspect. Good job to everyone!
This is such a great idea!!! Using a bat’s echolocation to reveal the surroundings, while the information it gives you might not always be true, is such a creative take on the theme!
One small issue: I couldn’t play the web version because none of the buttons seemed to work for me. But after downloading the game, everything worked perfectly!
The art style looks great, and I really love the map design too!!!
I had real struggles to get it working. The UI and resolution is all over the place, even in the exe. My screen is mostly dark and I couldn't figure out where to go. I just stumbled around without achieving anything. That is unfortunately not the experience you guys probably wanted, so I can't give you a proper rating here. It seems like that due to the time constraints that some bugs are ruining the experience, at least for me.
The resolution is bad, but I have a question. If you downloaded the game, then you should also saw the game's description, right? If you have a bit of a free time would you be soo kind to check that out again? I do belive that would make things clean for you.
WebGL was not playable at all, the download variant was kinda working, but only to an extend as I said.
Unfortunately, I can't do that at the moment over this weekend, sorry.
That is some great artwork my friend ! I like the overall concept of the game. Great work mate !
Overall Game looks good. Visual and art is nice.
Honestly, I didn't understand anything. The collision detection was a bit off. I played it, though. I just wish there had been subtitles.
I like the narrator is a whakjob lmao. Pretty fun gameplay. Great work.
Cool game! I liked the narrator aspect, definitely made it more unique
the artstyle reminds me a lot of Inside and Limbo, very atmospheric, definitely one of my favourites !
