New Enemy Alert: Batray

Time for another Ocean Explorer devlog, and this one’s big gliding in from the deep. Meet the newest threat to your submarine:

 The Batray

Batray isn’t your average stingray because it moves in a stealthy way and lurks in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. With glowing crimson eyes and a sleek, blade-like body, this predator sweeps across the battlefield with terrifying grace.

 Gameplay Behavior

• Swooping Attacks – Batray spawns above the player and dives down in arcs, forcing you to be mindful of the whole screen cause the batray can go anywher.

• Star Strike – Occasionally will send a powered up shooting star that goes in the direction of player, locking down parts of the screen.

I wanted an enemy that combined the elegance of an ocean creature with the threat of a mid-game mini-boss. Inspired by stingrays and some darker, more mythical sea beasts, Batray bridges the gap between natural predators and the monstrous horrors deeper down.
