A downloadable game for Windows

Vampire hunters are after a mischievous vampire girl, and it's up to her pet bat to save the day!

Fly Through the Night

Flap through peril in this open-ended precision “batformer” with a unique control scheme that re-contextualizes precision platformer trappings and flips them upside-down!

Old-School Charm

Limitations were imposed on the palette, sprite size, and audio fidelity to really deliver on that old-school feeling. Retaining the difficulty of retro games, but with modern design sensibilities so you wont be throwing your rectangular controller.

Open World

it's tough out there, but you can take it at your own pace. If you're ever stuck on a challenge, you can easily take a different path and find another way forward.

Carve Your Own Path

There are plenty of routes you can take through the game, but there's gotta be one that's the best, right? The world is designed to let players experiment with routing and find the fastest, or easiest, way through the game, depending on if you're hardcore or looking for something more chill.

Hi! sorry for the dumb question but im having trouble in starting a new game, i've presed enter and clicked in "new game" but it doesn't seem to work? anyway, the sound track is incredible and i love the art!

Hi thanks very much for the kind words! 

You should be able to start a new game by pressing the Z key on the keyboard or the A button on a controller while having "new game" highlighted in the menu

Lovely in every way!!! I adore the soundtrack and visual style, plus the... platforming..?? the.. the flying?? the flying! it's so snappy and comfortable!!!

I need the soundtrack uploaded SOMEWHERE though. I'm in dire need of some JAM

Thanks so much for all the kind words, I'm glad you like the music! I'm not the most confident in my music skills so It's nice to hear you are enjoying it :) I will likely have the soundtrack available here on itch, steam, and also streaming on youtube when the full game releases

This is so cute!! love it!
