BlindBat
Believe it or not, bats aren't blind and have eyes that are very sensitive to the dark, but that's not the story with BlindBat. This is a bat who chooses to fly around during the daytime and wears sunglasses to protect his vision. As a result, he's effectively blind as he tries to fly through the air in the middle of the day. The bad news is that there's a large group of birds that would prefer that the bat stick to nighttime. However, it's everyone's sky and if the birds are going to hog it all, then this bat isn't going to hang around and just let them have it.
About BlindBat
Bats have appeared in many games, usually as annoying fodder enemies that you just want to smack down, but other times they've been important characters. A bat is the hero of this game and has to work with some limitations. Since he is blind, he has to rely on sonar even more to figure out where he's flying and where the birds are in the sky. This also means that he has limited ammo to waste on targets that he can't confirm are there. It's a shooting gallery where the targets are moving and the more ammo you shoot, the closer you come to your doom.
How to Play
BlindBat is a 2D arcade shooting game about a bat fighting against a bunch of birds using the mouse. The bat will automatically fly forward but will move up and down based on the cursor's movements. Click the Left Mouse Button to fire a sonar bullet in a straight line. The goal is to keep flying and to shoot birds out of the sky without running out of ammo. The birds serve to block the way, but the moment you run out of ammo (as shown by a counter at the top of the screen), they'll swoop in and summon a huge bird to knock the bat out of the sky. After that, you'll need to start over.
The bat doesn't have much power to its name but can fly and fire. When you start, the bat will begin flying and birds will start appearing on the right side of the screen. They can be small or large and will also change positions by moving up and down. Each one can be taken out with a direct hit from a sonar bullet. Whenever the bat lands a direct hit, the bullet returns to him since it indicates that he hit a target. Your ammo needs to constantly be recycled so that you always have something to fire since missed shots don't return. Keep flapping and firing for as long as you can.
Tips and Tricks
This is an interesting shooter where you can't spam shots since every shot is valuable. The targets are relatively large and move slowly, so you can take time to set up your shots. When the birds group together is your best chance to land a hit.
