The briefing

About this game

3D Bat Attack places the player inside the tower of Count Dracula’s castle in Transylvania. Gold is scattered throughout a series of connected mazes, but vampire bats patrol the corridors and can cost the player a life on contact.

Players can collect garlic to become immune to the bats for 20 seconds, stunning any bat encountered during that time. A lift connects the mazes and offers an escape route, although repeated use makes the bats more vicious. Before starting, players can configure the difficulty from 0 to 10 and choose between 1 and 4 bats.
