In the game, you are the bat. To move, place your finger on the screen and drag – the bat will follow your movements. Watch out for ghosts! If they catch you, your health meter will decrease, as you lose health points. You die when you run out of health points. Collect as much treasure as you can – it earns you points. Treasure includes rubies, emeralds, silver, and gold coins. For 800 points or $0.99, you can buy a ForceField 3-pack to repel all ghosts! Each ForceField lasts for 30 seconds. Stay clear of skulls as they cause instant death on contact, and can move through ForceFields. For 800 points or $0.99, you can buy a Cyclone 3-pack to suck down ghosts and collect more treasure! Each Cyclone lasts for 30 seconds.
