You are a vampire. Escape the unstable cave you have made your home in.

Controls:

Arrow keys to move, z to turn into a bat
Up while bat to bat jump
Down brings you out of bat without jumping

The game is pretty short and doesn't really have an end so when you make it up the really big set of stairs after the metal maze you are done (you will see walls boxing you in from both sides)

Software Used:
Godot
Piskel (https://www.piskelapp.com/)

Genres: platformer

Tools: Godot, Piskel

Intresting platformer mechanics, very fresh!

Got to the ending! I liked the level design, it fits well with the mechanic of turning into a bat. I think there's some more potential in the idea, maybe a sequel would be nice. Also, adding a timer to the game, in order to challenge players to speedrun, would be a nice addition IMO as well!

The bat mechanic is very interesting, would love to see you flesh this out into a short experience!

Nice mechanics. Maybe it´s the batman pet?

platforming controls feel very solid, but got pretty lost with the map layout.

Level design seems well thought out, I like the mechanics. I always enjoy a difficult game like this one that has simple controls. Nice work!

Really really cool mechanic I like it, its hard though I kinda suck at it but I had a good time I couldnt quite figure out the last part but what I was able to do was great.

Fun platforming with interesting mechanics. Wish it had a proper end :smile:

The mechanics reminded me of an old sega game, would been nice to see fleshed out. Overall a clever design.

Interesting idea! A good little mechanic!

Spidd5 Oct 2021, 18:01

Very interesting mechanics. Great game!

Fun basic platformer. I also liked the main mechanic. Edit: I just read the description in full. nevermind about the ending question haha

nice game, it covers the topic of instability well, nice simple graphics, sorry there is no sound.

Very impressed with the way you got varied gameplay out of a single mechanic, well done!

Neat story and bat mechanic. Map layout got confusing on the right though.

Wow! I have never seen such a cute bat. Love it!

JustinMullin6 Oct 2021, 14:29

This is a creative platformer twist that I haven't seen before! A couple of the puzzles were interesting as well, I liked the clever use of falling platforms to line up for the bat's flight in multiple places. I didn't read the game's description very carefully and got a bit lost after reaching the end of the game thinking there was more, but there was plenty here to show off the basic mechanics. Nice work!

Played it and I want to play more! I like the unconventional solution to the puzzles and its unique platforming.

Fun and novel platforming mechanic, generous checkpointing, and good character animation. I was pretty confused at the end until I read the description.

The platforming feels super smooth and satisfying! Nice varied use of the unstable platform mechanic :smile:
