Story

"Fearing the sun and wanting to roam the earth unhindered, the bats stole the light from the crystal and so too did the sun lose its light. Only the fireflies are capable of recharging the light of the crystal and thus they set forth in one desperate final charge."

"In this game, a swarm of fireflies as they have to navigate a maze in an attempt to reach the crystal. Bats will be trying to halt your progress. You can slow them down by hovering over them with the mouse, which controls the swarm, causing the bats to be blinded. You can also click on a torch, which results in one of the fireflies lighting it on fire. This also hinders the bats, giving you the opportunity to continue your search."

Made by Sparkle Studios.

No actual bats were harmed in the making of this game.
