Another personal Flash project of mine and more Flash 9 problems for you!
So this is Rocket Bat, a flash game I'm making to be entered in a contest! Hopefully the rewards and deadline will be an incentive for me to finish on time.
Anyhow, for the most part the rules are explained in the How To Play section. Since this is still in development, I'll be open to suggestions and feedback.
Eventually when I'm done with the game I might be deleting it from scraps and submitting it as a fresh deviation, so when it happens don't be confused if your comments disappear or it vanishes from your favorites.
Made in Flash
