Bat Attack!

That's the name of my very first WarioWare D.I.Y. microgame, by the way.

I guess you could call it a riff on--or rip off of--one of Nintendo's first "weekly games," ABBE's Fright Light, as players are tasked with ridding a spotlit scene of shrieking bats.

Yes, my company is called "RainBlow Software." 

I'm pretty proud of it, to tell you the truth--mainly because I made all of the game's graphics myself. The background music was stolen--er, "imported"--from one of WarioWare D.I.Y.'s pre-fab microgames (Cake Defense), but I'm thinking of making my own tune for the already-in-the-works sequel--which will sport an awesomely creative name like Super Bat Attack!

Anyway, send along your friend code if you want to give it a go. (I shared mine here.)

Best WarioWare D.I.Y. microgame thus far: 'Localize This'

And it was made by none other than Wired's Chris Kohler.

Skip to the 1:00 mark to see it in action.



I take umbrage at Kohler's (likely tongue-in-cheek) suggestion that Endless Ocean isn't worthy of localization, but other than that I think his microgame is spot on.

Buy: WarioWare D.I.Y.
