Bathold by chibiFlux

made by chibiFlux for LD31 (JAM)

Bathold is a game about leading a bat to his food source, Flyguys, while avoiding the obstacles that are hidden in the darkness. You are able to see using the ultrasonic screams of Bathold, lighting up the environment.

The theme is represented in that there is no screen-scrolling and each level starts you off where you ate the FlyGuy in the last one.

Supports Keyboard and Xbox360-Controller!

EDIT: The Linux version doesn't recognize keyboard or controller input unless you run it with sudo. That however is a security risk, please don't do it unless you understand all implications.

Tools used: Unity, GIMP, SunVox, bfxr

This game was made by chibiTune (Music and Artwork) and QuantumFlux (Programming and Gameplay).

I could not get throught the tutorial level when using sonar, it revealed nothing at all to me, not sure if this was a bug, or something with my browser,

Love the game!!! It's challenging and the graphics/music are superb. Nice work!!
Maybe you should put an ultrasonic counter to limit the uses.

Great game, but controls are too much sensitive.

Very nice, I love the atmosphere. Low visibility and (intentionally) imprecise controls makes for a very challenging game, and I wound up ragequitting on the third level.

I love the mood in this game, the music and the graphics are perfect for each other, as well as the gameplay :D
the only thing I found less good was the controls, its a bit slippery to control the poor bat :( he kept dying because i accidentally hit walls

It took me a little while to figure out that the things revealed by the sonar were obstacles, rather than safe space. Once I had that down it went much better. The hitbox could also stand to be smaller, but otherwise it was a pretty neat game.

I really like the concept and the graphics of the game! :D
However the controls and the levels are soooo hard, it's very frustating.
Anyway good job!
