Hold on to your butts!
A Gongbat update? That’s right.

I know, it’s been quite a while since our nocturnal friend received an update. But I’m here with good news that there is finally a big overhaul on its way. This long-awaited new version of Gongbat has a large list of features and fixes, including a much anticipated mobile release:

Kousati

Introducing the new level taking place in the epilogue of Gongbat. Across the globe from the Aderus caverns, Kousati is a paranormal hotspot located in a mountainous desert. It’s also a hot vacation spot year ‘round!

This new map includes a new soundtrack, more bad guys (including the one pictured here), new puzzle mechanics, and a brand new gong for Gongbat to rock.

Costumes + Upgrades

Because who wouldn’t want to dress Gongbat up in a business suit?
Now you can give our studly hero a new outfit to flaunt with those extra cells sitting around! So far the wardrobe includes a Skeleton-bat, Hazmat suit, Top Hat, Business Casual, and a bunch of others. Also expect some new upgrades for Gongbat.

Updated Graphics + Menus

There’s been a major re-haul in the menu department as of late. I believe cosmetically they stand much stronger, and now they’re even mobile friendly!

New Characters, Story Arcs, and Bug Fixes Galore

The original story line to Gongbat is being modified as well. There will be more characters to interact with, optional side quests, puzzle elements to break up the combat, a less repetitive arcade mode, and better fine tuned boss fights.

Many of the known bugs have been exterminated. The options menu will now include new settings, giving more control over graphical effects, controls, and difficulty modes. It’s all pretty exciting!

Mobile, Final Thoughts

Ignoring the long amount of time I’ve put this project on the back-burner, I’m finally close to finishing the mobile release of Gongbat. I will also start updating this devlog as regularly as possible to keep you all filled in. Sharing more means me working more!

The update is to be expected within the next few weeks for PC, with the iOS release soon to follow. Thanks again for all of the support, working on this game has been a long challenge (I’m so anxious to start new projects) but it’s been given a lot of love and attention.

Your friendly neighborhood game developer,
Zack
