Due to scheduling conflicts, I was unable to participate until Sunday afternoon, so I threw this together in about 6 hours. I wanted to keep my successful entry streak alive.

Write your score in the comments below!

Instructions:
Eat all bugs and avoid other bats.
Other bats can be destroyed by diving on top of them.
To eat a bug, touch it with your head (wings don't count).
Venturing offscreen will kill you.

Scoring:
Score more points by flying faster when eating a bug.
Eat a bug while diving gives a 2x multiplier.
Killing a bat gets you the same as above +10pts.

Controls:
Left Mouse = Flap Wings
Right Mouse = Dive

Damn bugs are hard to catch! Nice sounds. :D

Pretty well done game it it was only completed in 6 hours. The bugs tend to fly off the screen and then not come back for about a minute. But other than that good game. I ended up with a measly 196.

Hi there. Grats on entering! The graphics are a bit small and found the aiming frustrating. The fly mechanics work well. The fly sounds... sound a bit like you shouldn't listen too closely...

Not bad, perhaps the graphics could be bigger so aiming would be easier. Sometimes the bugs like to go outside screen and not show up in a while. The flying mechanic was pretty interesting.

Nice job, especially for 6 hours work!

Good job, but it should be easier to catch the bugs.

Very well done :), and quite fun, too! If the controls were a bit easier (a keyboard option might've been nice), I probably would have played for quite a bit of time :) The "off screen kills you" really reinforces the theme, and it was a very good game mechanic.

It was interesting, good concept for a casual/mobile game. The bugs were hard to catch though.

Nice movement mechanics, but the game is really hard! Some bigger hitboxes, and the bugs not being able to fly off-screen would provide a much rewarding experience. Nice sounds!

way too hard to play on a laptop, haha, but a cool idea and well done.

Flying is fun!
I would like to see the dropping being a bit more extreme, you can hardly notice you are dropping.

Nice job!

Nice controls! Being a bat is hard, but I liked it! Maybe a first easier round to learn the controls would have been nice, before letting bugs go wild and move randomly. Great work

Controls are a bit slippery. Wish I could just stop at the top edge of the screen - annoying how flying too high kills me.

Nice job as you only did it in 6 hours! I like the simple controls, Audio is pretty standard. At one point i considered wether the bats flappy sound was saying fuck you haha! overall, nice job for the timeframe you made it in!

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

Great sound effects ^.^ This is really well put-together, especially for the amount of time you put in. It's like a great version of balloon hunter. Maybe an easy version with bigger collision circles? Also the bugs would tease me by flying off the screen! Love it.

It was frustrating at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. The mouse controls were a nice touch, even though it took a while to get a feel for how to use them.

Super impressive for only 6 hours of work :) Way to dig in and make something instead of just giving up.

Okay, I can honestly say I've never played a game with this control scheme! I got the hang of it pretty quickly but still died a lot because I had to go for multipliers!

Nice audio and controls

I love the gameplay - but its unfair that the bugs can go off the screen and not you :(
