Control was a little tricky, but the game felt very polished and presentable!  Transitions between stages was clean and well executed.  I enjoyed the music and sound as well!  Great work!  :)

fun puzzle game! any chance it was inspired by stephen's sausage roll?

I know about that game, but I didn't think of it when I was working on this. Maybe it was a subconscious influence?

I started playing as if this game was an action game. Then I read the description and started thinking ahead. Nice game!

Aaa this is so cool

Dude i wanted to make this kind of game for a while!

Love how to goal isn't to kill, but just scare it in the right spot.

Nice work with the lightning too^^

Might use this as reference ahah

It's a bit frustrating to get used to overall movement, but the game is very polished overall and the idea is really cool. Good job!

Submitted

Nice idea. It was a bit frustrating at the beginning till i get used to how i control the bat to do what i want. But then it was a funny game. :)

Controls can be a bit unwieldy. The fact that your hands block you from moving even when empty is unintuitive, but the level design and mechanics are well done. I think having the bats move slower or not at all when the player isn't moving would remove most of the frustration and encourage the player to think out moves instead of frantically trying to herd the bat.

Oh yea. Beautiful game. Not engagement at all, but very polish!

Anyway it is great job!

Great game with good sound design and mechanics! It hurts when those bats start making their way all the way back to the start.

Thanks for playing! I didn't intend for the bats to be so frustrating at first, but it really encourages you to think carefully about every move you make.
