My officialy 3rd enter to LudumDare but second proper entry.

Mouse controlled game, click the bats and the bat will die and u will get points, between waves u can spent your points but in the end it all matters till what wave u made it and what your score is!

With Q u can toggle between batFx on or off.

Enjoy :)

Pretty cool game.
How did you get it to be a .jar and a .exe? just curious.
ItsSacraficedauthor26 Aug 2013, 08:53
Thanks, erhm I used JarSplice, and normally my res folder would be in the jar but somehow that didn't work properly so I put it all in a jar.

A bit easy, i think 100 lives are too much

The bat-death noises remind me of Ultima Online. :D Nice game - some polish to the graphics and menus would make it even more appealing. The bats are just tiny enough to be infuriating :D

Hey there. Nice entry. I stopped after a few minutes, since my click finger got irritated. It's not anything I haven't seen before, but still a job well done.
ItsSacraficedauthor26 Aug 2013, 10:36
@tiffy well yeah atm it is kinda easy but how I had it first it was kinda to hard so I tried to balance it and well this way it was nicest balance when you wanna get more expensive upgrades. @rusty Hehe thanks :) the menu buttons between waves are on purpose on the side else you would click on them all the time and I agree but okay :p, @mekuri thnx oh I never really had an irratating finger guess I'm used to click :P, and thanks :).

Needs some kind of weapon upgrade, as in 10 minutes I think I have clicked a weeks worth of Diablo :D

Nice game, would have loved to see a bigger cursor upgrade to kill bats in a wider radius. They really become too much around wave 20 and now my finger hurts.
But I had fun.
ItsSacraficedauthor26 Aug 2013, 11:07
Yeah but I didnt really know what :p.
ItsSacraficedauthor26 Aug 2013, 11:09
@marcellus well thats a key thats missing but thats probally also through I didnt really have that issue I've played it legit alot n didn't have any pain in my fingers xD

A simple yet fun game, well done. Apparently massacring bats is a very fun activity, especially with the squeking sound that they make :)

I hate to admit, but I played this for 30 minutes or so, got to level 79 and stopped only because my index finger started to hurt. :)

Well done, this is a good example of a game with just the core mechanics, plus something achievable.

By the way, the helper that says it costs 225 points actually costs only 200. :)
ItsSacraficedauthor26 Aug 2013, 12:11
@manabreak oh darnit well original price was 200 n then I thought I make it a bit harder to get but I guess I didnt change that price then in the code..
ItsSacraficedauthor26 Aug 2013, 12:24
Ok should been fixed minor bug not game changing so fits within the rules, to bad I'm not allowed to add another upgrade for mouse :P

Nice fun little game! Love it!
Vasileiadis26 Aug 2013, 21:00
It got me to play till level 20 but it kind of needed a few more mechanics / options / boss fights (?) ;)
ItsSacraficedauthor26 Aug 2013, 21:05
wave 20 is nothin :p wave 20 is still kinda easy but I'm adding more upgrades n such, so I got improved versions but Its not uploaded here because thats illegal. I think ill soon post link here in my post to no ludum version :), n thnx for the idea I'll try to put it in :)

Oww, my finger hurts. :D Clicked at least 13 minutes and got to wave 81 before stopping. I guess it could have gone on forever. :D After getting all the upgrades it was just crazy clicking for 10 seconds, then more crazy clicking to refill HP (score was incrementing faster than I was able to spend it). So yea, probably needs some different weapons or something. But it was very addictive, I just _had_ to get all the upgrades. :D
ItsSacraficedauthor26 Aug 2013, 22:14
Hehe Yay Iknow that feeling :D, and yeah I'm making an improved version with some mouse upgrades(not to cheap tho) and maybe some big boss battles or so?, and yes it goes on for ever :p, well at least till u die.
Tainted_Code27 Aug 2013, 12:34
Haha, pretty cool! 100 lives though o_o Either way, I liked it! :D
ShitAndSon27 Aug 2013, 12:43
Really addictive game!
With better graphics this game can be awesome
ItsSacraficedauthor27 Aug 2013, 12:48
Yeah working on a improved version atm :), so hopefully one day better graphics n HP is reduced to 50 might change that as well but this is the 48 hours version :).

Do you know how damn hard this is with a touchpad? >_<
Anyway, hooked up a mouse and tried this proper.

It's pretty fun, it could have done with more variety of powerups to keep interest for longer.

Nice work. The killing a bat sounds like "icky bottle" haha. At least you added sounds. Nice graphics. Good work! 5/10.
