Pip in the Dark

What is Pip in the Dark?

Pip is a cave bat whose eyes glow in the dark, and in his cave the darkness is total. To find his way he sends out an echo: the waves bounce off the walls and light them up purple for an instant, while the rock spikes glow red. Pip always flies forward, faster and faster, and hunts glowing moths along the way, the only lights in the cave.

How to play

• Pip flies to the right on his own: drag your finger or move the mouse up and down to change his height (or use the up and down arrows).
• A quick tap, a click or space sends out the echo: the wave spreads and shows walls, stalactites and stalagmites for just over a second.
• After an echo you need to wait almost a second before the next one: the small circle above Pip shows it.
• Every 12 metres of flight is worth 1 point and each glowing moth caught is worth 5 points.
• The game ends if Pip touches a wall, a stalactite or a stalagmite.

Tips

• Send out an echo regularly, as soon as the circle recharges: the cave keeps changing shape.
• Remember the shape of the cave the echo showed you and stay in the middle of the passage.
• Moths are always visible, even in the dark, but don't chase them if they're close to a wall.
