Indie game developer and publisher SporkTank revealed their new game Batography will be released in a couple of weeks.

Batography

Play as a curious bat on his mission to take a full fledged photo of the moon. Explore a sleepy moonlit town, filled with cozy (and sassy) animal inhabitants. Run, climb, and glide your way around to help them with their tasks. Make friends and collect mooncakes on your way to the moon! Bato's language is photography! Snap photos to solve puzzles and communicate with the townsfolk. Progress to the end in time to take a photo of the full moon! Run, Climb, Glide and Snap your way through an array of obstacles while interacting with the cheeky characters in the neighbourhood. Can you collect all the moon cakes?

SporkTank is primarily made up of solo developer Martin Stradling, and Batography was developed as a way to get his younger cousins involved in game development. The game was developed as a small side project whilst working on the upcoming Rita, which was chosen for the PAX Aus Indie Showcase.

"While working on Rita (a game heavily inspired by family), I thought it would be nice to get a project that was actually created with family on to Steam!" Martin shared, "So here it is, a beautiful little side-scroller with sassy characters and some hidden extras. I hope you enjoy!"
