Bat Boy is an indie platform game developed by X PLUS Co., Ltd., Sonzai Games where you play as Ryosuke, a young student and athlete, who secretly battles the evil forces of Lord Vicious, a strange being who creates events sinisters for your own enjoyment. Now, with powers granted by the unnamed deities, Bat Boy must save the world with his sporting powers.

The game has amazing graphics with excellent Japanese sprite art, good animation frames and backgrounds, making the game something between the 8-bits and 16-bits generation. The sound is made up of electrifying and exciting tracks and already resembles more games from the 8-bit generation.

The gameplay has jump, movement and attack commands and also a screen scroll inspired by games like Megaman and a game mechanic that uses your enemies and objects in the scenery as a platform. Just about anything that can harm you can be hit with your baseball bat or used to boost your jump.
