Bat Blast! will be released on Steam next year. With luck, it will arrive Q1 2024.

You should totally go and wishlist it now!

What's it all about?

In short, Bat Blast! is a 2D game about magical bats. You point and click (or use a controller) to aim and navigate upwards through the tower. There are enemies to kill and traps to avoid. You can collect fruit to stay energized and hunt for treasure.

There are spells to buy using treasure found in the tower, along with different bats that sport different passive abilities.

Bat Blast! has evolved a bit since I first announced it. In earlier builds, the game was focused on energy management. Running out of energy meant game over.

Blue Bar = Mana

Grey Bar = Swoops

Green Bar = Energy


But after a lot of consideration and testing, I've moved to a more familiar model that employs a Health Bar:

Blue Bar = Mana

Red Bar = Health

Green Bar = Energy


Swoops are now infinite. If you run out of energy, you can keep playing. If you run out of health, it's game over (unless you have lives in reserve!) The game plays a lot smoother in this way.

I've also added a talent system that compliments bat selection and spells:

Play the game to earn points. Points = Stars. Stars = Talents. It's super fun and you can create some crazy and chaotic builds.

Here are some more screenshots:

It has been fun bringing this thing to life over the last three years. My hope is that it will be enjoyed by many.

Bat Blast! is currently undergoing some limited testing. There may be an opportunity for wider testing in the near future. Stay tuned if you think you'd be interested!
