What if iPhone games had existed back in the 1920's? Take a trip back into an alternate past, where the primitive cartoons of the 1920's co-existed with the handheld wireless devices of today... a parallel timeline in which the Cellular Telephonic Device was all the rage just as the movie industry was taking its first faltering steps. Aerfish Studios of Pasadena was there, hand-crafting some of the most memorable black-and-white “Retr-O-mation” games of that entire (invented) era. We’ve rummaged through our extensive (though, thankfully, imaginary) archives to find and bring you this early example of the genre: “Flap That Bat.” “Flap That Bat” asks you to help our intrepid flying mammal get through a spidery graveyard, while tapping your toes to the music of Judy Carmichael and her band of musical misfits. Watch out for tombstones and dancing spiders, though! And please -- if you’d like us to rummage around in our archives for more examples of this lost (some might say “never existed”) genre, help make sure this one is a success by spreading the word! Enjoy!
Is this app defunct?
I was excited to play, the graphics and music are really cool, and the old time feel….but I don’t think the app is working….no obstacles are coming up, its just a bat flying and when I tap the screen the game ends immediately. What am I doing wrong?
United StatesGreat game for killing time
Perfect game for killing time when bored. It’s nice and simple I would like more scenarios and different monsters. Also it would be great if the developer update the game so it fill the screen

Flappy Bird with music and the option to enjoy the best graphics and swing music without actually starting the game is a nice easter egg, the game is amazing work and the graphics have me hooked. 🦇and 🪦 and ⛈ in black and white. what a scene. 💯
United StatesShort attention span addicting fun!
Is it wrong to say that I reach for this app unconsciously like a pack of cigarettes on a daily basis? Because I do.
United StatesMeh
Great music and design but very easy to lose interest in.
United StatesFun and easy to learn game
Like many games simple doesn't mean easy. Great graphics too! I may need to spend time with this.
United StatesHi, I'm Stephanie and I'm addicted to Flap That Bat.
Let me just say I have only purchased two games, ever. Monkey ball and this one. I don't regret either of them. Whenever I start playing this game, I lose track of time! I get sucked into it! The music is great and I always find myself dancing while playing. Which is probably why I only have a high score of 17. It's worth the .99¢! I have never written a review before but this one, I just had to! Plus, great halloween game! I'm 21 so don't think this is a pre teen writing this or something but, if you are looking for a great game, this is it! BUY IT.
