Bounce Bat - Ava Rogerson (17)

 

Bounce bat is an exciting 2D platformer game where you play as a character fighting to get back home and overcome their fears, explore the cave in an overworld setting or in set levels and undertake quests for rewards such bonus levels and extras
 
You play as a flightless bat born with tiny wings who falls down into a cave system and gets lost. This happens after a series of events that occur after he runs from home, including being attacked by a giant bird. You explore the cave system and slowly unlock all the areas to escape the caves. There are boss battles, quests and optional levels. To complete the levels there is a launch mechanic where the character can launch themselves from spring plants and bounce off of walls. This is a core mechanic and is present in most of the levels. There are also powerups that are collected from different coloured flowers, these give the character new attacks and allow them to do specific things
