I just wrote this little game as a demo for an informational thingy about bats.  Tell me what you think!

Good job. Not something I'd play for hours on end, but well made.

I do have one question though. Is there a reason the bat will cling onto the side walls, but not the top or bottom?

Because, um, I didn't think of that?

This is a sketch of a gameplay idea.  It actually was never meant for anything beyond that, but now I'm thinking of expanding on the idea and redoing the project in another development environment.

w00t! 8 seconds!

I noticed the bat sometimes disappears instead of attaching to the wall.
It comes right back though when you click the next spot

Someone on another forum also did it in 8 seconds.  How in the hell is that possible?  The best I've done was one time I got lucky and snagged a bunch in a line.  I did 14 seconds that time, but other than that it's always twenty something.

As for the disappearing, I noticed that myself eventually.  I have to scour the code to look into why that's happening.

Eight terrifies me. Perhaps you live outside of the regular timestream and therefore have superhuman speed and reflexes?

I didn't realize you don't have to wait for the bat to hit the other side.

I scored 8.

You people have mad skillz.

The disappearing error should be fixed now.  Let me know if you still see that (or any other) problem.

All you gotta do is chase mosquitos round clicking really really fast. You don't have to go to the other wall before you set off again.

If this were with an astronaut, who's tool belt broke in space, and he has to collect his tools (just an idea :p) He would have to wait to get to the other side before he could push off again.

When i still thought you had to wait for the bat to get to the other wall, i just made it fly at a steep angle so it kept bouncing from floor to cieling :p

I've reached six twice, but most of my scores are around ten. I want to reach five. I should probably go to bed instead though. *Continues playing*

Edit: I've reached six three times now. o_o

Edit2: I got five ^_^ Wewt!! screenshot

Damn yoooou!!! This game has invoked my competative side. I feel an immense need to match or beat four now. Having only managed to reach five twice out of about a billion plays though, I doubt I will anytime soon.

I demand visual proof, i didn't play for 2 hours then search the web for a decent capture program (which i hadn't already downloaded and used the free trial for) to have someone cheat me out of my victory.

Edit - Also, Jhocking,  I assure you that i would do no such thing. I am a creature that has no life, that needs to excel in games such as these for consolation.

You do know you can do a screencapture by hitting the Printscreen key?  Then just go into a paint program and Paste.

That's for Windows.  On a Mac you hit... um, I don't remember what the default is, actually.  I changed the key for screencapture to something easier ages ago.
