Describe your game

In my game, you are a young bat who has lost his group of bats when they were hunting for insects. Your main goal is to find all the bugs in the area and continue finding the bugs untill you find your home. (It may sound weird but it will make sense once you play it.) To controle your character, you must use the mouse and the arrow keys together in order to survive. The background will be very faint for it will be covered over a black coat of.......black. In my game, due to the game screen being shrouded in black, everything will be hidden from the rocks, the ground, the obsticals and the hidden objects, which are the insects you must find.
 

Now, your probaly wondering, "How will I know where I'm going!?!" The answer silly goose is that everything will have a sound! For example, if you're around a rock obstical and you scroll your mouse over it, it'll make the sound of falling rocks, so that way you'll know to avoid the obstical. This same gaming mechanic is for the hidden objects too. You will be searching for certain objects, in this case, insects, so when you scroll over an insect, it will make a sound. Now, before a level, you'll hear and see the insects you'll incounter, what they are and some facts about the insect. Then, you'll see the insects you'll need to find by hearing (you'll scroll over the item(insect) to hear it.) Don't worry, there will be a list so when you scroll over the insects name, you'll hear the sound. Now, there will not be much color in the game, for everything (Except you) will be covered in a dense black coat. You can see the stuff, but it will be very difficult to see, so I'd stick to the echolocation gaming mechanic. There will be animations, like if you could see really hard, my plan is that every game will have a secret animation  and that you have to use echolocation to find it. An other animation could be the character, it's wings flapping. Now that you got the gist of the game, there will be 'bout an estimate of 1-4 levels. This is a number for debate. There will be more levels, but that depends on the amount of time I have. This is my game. I hope I can finish it and I hope one day it can be made!
