## What is Echo Bat?

ECHO BAT — PING THE DARK

Two hundred years ago the cave took his colony. Ecou kept flying. Tilt to steer. Ping to see what hunts. You'll die. Ecou won't. Echo Bat: Ping the Dark 
Tilt your phone to glide. Tap to send out a ping — the cave reveals itself only where the sonar lands, and only for as long as the wave travels. The rest is shadow.


ENDLESS CAVERN
A procedural cave that never ends. Every run threads new rock, new chambers, new biomes — Abyss blue, Ember orange, Void violet, Verdant green — each with its own glow and atmosphere.


SONAR FLIGHT
Pinging the dark is the whole loop. Every tap is a dash AND a sonar wave. Use them to dive-kill stinger enemies, smash crystals for points, and chain combos that stack up to 5x.


TILT-TO-STEER
Native motion controls calibrated to your hold. After each crash the game resets neutral to your current pose, so you can shift posture between runs without losing the line.


BOSS ENCOUNTERS
Every few kilometres a luminous cave guardian rises out of the dark. It pulses, fires hostile sonar rings, and only dies if you dash straight into it. Three pips. Two hits. One bat.


BUILT TO FEEL
- 4 biomes that crossfade as you travel
- Coordinated boom on every biome change — flash, shake, ring shockwave, audio sting

  again and watch it grow another.
