Bat has a STRANGE quirk... He can only turn around by smacking his face into a wall. This will make saving the world somewhat difficult, but someone's gotta do it. Super easy to play... and darn hard to beat. If you like fair challenges with addicting replayability, you'll probably have fun. Oh, and handing it to a friend and watching them rage is pretty hilarious.
