Sona
Orphaned before she could learn how to fly, Sona is all alone and looking for other bats to call family. Using bugs to fuel her, she deploys echolocation to illuminate a sprawling network of treacherous caves. Dodging predators, navigating sheer drops, and uncovering long-hidden pathways lead her to a mysterious den perched high above the cliffs. Can she survive the climb and finally find a place to belong?
Sona is a challenging platformer. Expect to die a lot!

I loved the game, art is beatiful, mechanichs are great, and the theme is well adapted :D
I love the visual style, everything is very coherent and fluid. The music is relaxing and fits the atmosphere and the story. It looks quite complete.
Both of us interpreted Waves thinking about the echolocation of bats. I really liked how you applied it.
Hey thank you so much! I love that we both did bat games - on my way to check yours out!
