Go Batty with Release of PC Shooter ‘Gongbat’

Arcade-style shooters are no stranger to odd playable characters and enemies. From mechanical fish to moe girls, the genre’s seen nearly everything. But what about a shapeshifting bat?

Have a look!

Starting off this devlog with a fresh project after just releasing my shooter game of 10 months, Gongbat.

Gongbat follows an ancient creature who mutates with the sound of gongs in order to snuff evil.

You can find and play the game on Game Jolt.

Gongbat is a spectacular shoot-em-up with fantastic audio and pixel art animation that sees you blasting biological abominations and huge bosses with a giant prehistoric transforming bat.

Gameplay is fast, fun and downright crazy, with you controlling an Gongbat (a powerful ancient bat), as it attempts to put a stop to an evil scientists nefarious plans.  To do this you’ll have to take on the scientists henchmen and a wide variety of massive mutated beasts across five areas, all while listening to awesome music tracks.

Your Gongbat is surprisingly tough for a bat, with you able to blast enemies with your sonar waves, purchase upgrades and even use ancient Gongs to transform and use special powers.  It’s a wonderfully crafted game, you’re never sure what’s around the corner as you take on a mass of bizarre mutants.  It’s worth playing through for the audio/visual experience alone – a bat-shit crazy fever dream of epic proportions.
