Sorry to anyone who's tried to download it already. I finished uploading last night and thought it was good but turns out it was corrupt. The link works correctly now though.
Requires Python and PyGame. Made with Python 2.6 but it should work with 2.5 and probably with 2.4.
Yeah, I got really demotivated on this one after I had the map world code and started figuring out how to make it fun.
I wanted to do something with Panda3D, which I probably could have learned over 48 hours. Unfortunately I forgot that I'd ALSO have to learn Blender3D, which will take a significantly longer amount of time.
Extremely simple but effective way of adding a sense of exploration and progress. Collecting blood isn't particularly challenging, but there's still the excitement of unlocking new areas based on earlier achievements. Some moving traps would obviously have been nice. Music was quite repetitive, but not bad enough to mute. The background graphics look like diarrhea, so I'll deduct one point there.
No binary in the windows version, but it ran ok as I had the pre-requisites installed. Like adam_smasher said, if the bat had fluttery controls, or possibly gravity, it would have made things far more interesting.
Got through it. Thanks for not making me start completely over when dying.
You sure talk down about it. Sure it might be wanting, but seriously, no need to apologize on the win screen! Music gets sort of annoying pretty fast, though.
It was a decent exposition of level design, though the gameplay was not so interesting. I really wanted that funky tribal cave jam to start, too. There wasn't any danger in the game either... No challenge for experienced gamers who don't make silly mistakes.
Runs fine here; gameplay and (especially) music might leave something to be desired. I feel like you had the core of an explorer/puzzler, only you made a design decision to avoid either of those, and just have the player go around collecting stuff. Odd.
Also, it'd be nice if your music loop was slightly longer than 2 seconds. Turned a reasonable sonic wallpaper into a major distractant.

this game would have been so much better if you had given the bat more fluttery controls to add some challenge/weight.
