Thanks for the quick response I fix the Game already I hope there will be no more issues
Nice chilling music :) I didn't see how the game got worse as I grew bigger though. Everything seemed much easier after a certain size!
a lovely feel good game, thanks for this, put a grin on my face to see that cute little fat dude fly off into the world, would have loved to take it on adventures
I'd really love to eat that big guy at the end :) As mentioned earlier I didn't see that the bigger you are harder the game is. When I achieved 10k points the bat stayed in place for a few sec as a game frozen or sth and only then there was a ending screen. Good job anyway!
It looks like you've got a great working game with a unique setting and art style! I thought it was kind of funny how I was bigger than the snakes but couldn't eat them :p. I do agree with the commented above about how the game didn't feel like it got worse as you got bigger. The only thing that got was worse avoiding the big bats. It would have been interesting to see if your size affected more things than just your hit box. Great job though!
I like this kind of game, with all the growing and that. Adorable graphics. Best of luck :)
This is the way to do minimalist graphics that actually match the mood of the game, well done! :)
This bat its sooo cute! And music wow. Nice job and respect:D
Switching to fullscreen just causes the game to be stuck in a black screen for me (on windows 10). It's a simple cute game with nice audio that fits the theme pretty well. Pretty good for the amount of time allotted.
Whoa! Nice audio! Making him fly at the end felt rewarding! I liked! :D
That is one fat bat. I enjoyed playing, but it ended pretty quickly and didn't get much harder as I got bigger. Good work on the art though!
This is great! The idea is simple, but the art and music are really charming - they make it sort of a peaceful, contemplative experience (though I was pretty alarmed when the HUGE owl-thing first showed up). Nice job!
Great game.. LOVED the audio :) really well done!!!
I don't understand how it got worse as I got bigger. Also, why do the snakes always kill you? And what does the mother bat do? I want answers.
Love it. Love the squishy, wibbly-wobbly bat animation. The tutorial is really simple and smart. And I like the music too! Very relaxing but kind of hopeful too. The ending is really cute, though I wish it didn't kick you out of the game so soon! I wanted to stay on that screen for a little bit and enjoy the vibe and be happy for that little (big) bat :)
Well done for the bat animation, but sadly for i see it's nothing related from the theme. It's just a typically agar.io with some intentional expressing. I've quite confuse for i cant eat the snake even i was almost 10k score, and disappointed from not able to kill the king bat.
Great Game! I really liked the soundtrack. But there isn't any real challenge or difficulty. The graphics were simple but looked kind of cute and the game had an overall nice atmosphere. The ending is a bit too kitschy for my taste. Nevertheless great game.
Pretty simple but cool game, you did a great job, the art is good, the gameplay is fun and the audio is just amazing, I loved, congratulations !
The music felt really relaxing! The only thing I'd say is that the difficulty needed to increase a lot more for it to work well with the theme. The bat was getting larger, but I didn't feel any more in danger than I was when I started. That being said, the first sighting of the larger bat spooked me.
Nice music and beautiful calm mood.
Fun game!
I think it would be more fun if you could dash to catch the other bats and to make the game endless.
Pretty cute and a nice ambience from the music and graphics, but a bit lacking in challenge. As @darkgrisen said a dash attack or something would have made it more interesting.
That music was so soothing, and it was a really relaxing, calming game. I remember I used to play a game similar to this when I was a kid (except it was with fish), so got the nostalgia firing :P
I liked the controls were simple and precise, and the graphics (although simple) were well done and suited the atmosphere of the game. Nicely done!
I really liked the cutscene/story in the beginning. It also served as a tutorial, and worked very well. I agree the atmosphere was really calming and nice. And maybe if the game were a tad more complicated with some abilities or extra threats even. A nice game to play!
This was nice and relaxing, especially after I realized that it wasn't possible for me to get big enough to eat the snakes. I was a little worried that the owl was somehow going to pop out of nowhere and mess me up, but that never really happened. The difficulty was too low for the core mechanic to come into effect, but I'll give you points for style.
A very zen-like game, I liked it. If you're interested here's the video in which I also play Bat Dose: https://youtu.be/BgkQxnrr8sU
