Brain Blow Level 69
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
A brown bat hangs asleep upside down inside a gray cave, its eyes closed and its wings folded around itself. A smiling sun glows in the upper-right corner, and the prompt asks you to wake up the bat. Bats rest during daylight and become active at night, so the animal stays asleep while the sun is out. The solution is to remove the sun from the scene, letting night fall so the bat naturally wakes.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the prompt asking you to wake up the bat, and note the sleeping bat hanging inside the cave with closed eyes. Identify the sun in the upper-right corner, which marks the current daytime.
- Do not tap or shake the bat itself; it is resting and will not open its eyes while daylight is still around it.
- Take hold of the sun and drag it downward toward the lower edge of the screen, pulling it off the visible scene. As the sun drops toward the corner and out of view, the daytime setting disappears and night takes over.
- Watch the bat once the sun is gone. Its eyes open wide while it still hangs upside down in the cave, showing that it has woken up now that it is nighttime.
- When the bat's eyes are open and the checkmark appears over the cave, the level recognizes the bat as awake and the completion screen shows.
- Give the bat a moment to react after the sun leaves the frame, and judge the result by its eyes rather than expecting it to fly out of the cave. Keep the drag going until the sun actually passes the lower edge; leaving it partly in view keeps the scene bright and the bat drowsy. The open eyes, together with the checkmark over the cave, confirm the wake-up has registered, and there is no need to touch the cave walls or move the bat itself.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle relies on the bat's sleep schedule rather than a direct alarm. Bats are nocturnal, so sunlight keeps them asleep and darkness rouses them; there is no button to tap the bat awake. Removing the sun changes the environment from day to night, which is the trigger the level actually responds to.
Dragging the sun off-screen matters more than tapping it. A tap leaves the sun in place and keeps the scene bright, while pulling it downward past the edge removes the daylight source entirely. Once night falls, the bat's open eyes confirm the change worked. There is no need to disturb the cave walls or pull the bat out of the opening, since waking happens on its own after the sun is gone.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Do not tap or shake the sleeping bat; it will not wake while the sun is still shining on the scene.
- Drag the sun down off the screen to turn the day into night; the bat wakes up once daylight is removed.
- Watch for the bat's eyes opening as the sign it is awake, rather than waiting for it to fly out of the cave.
