While traveling inside the Batmobile, grab any gadgets coming your way to use against the criminals, as well as power-ups to fly, speed up, double up attacks or freeze time.
Play as Batman, Robin, & Batgirl as they make it all the way to the destroyed area of Gotham City to put it back together before everything falls apart! Dodge any Lego Pieces falling from above, or else, you run out of health. Make sure to switch characters whenever one of them receives too much damage. Hurry! Time will run out quickly!

"DAYDREAMER" portrays a young girl in her own little world as she imagines herself bringing her artwork of colorful birds to life with her paintbrush amongst the cloudy blue skies. Her daydream is projected from her beautiful, curly puff ponytail as she closes her eyes and smiles blissfully. The bright and radiant tones are used to emphasize the carefree colorfulness of a child's vivid imagination.

MASKING
WALL CANVAS
Based on a childhood memory, "WALL CANVAS" portrays a young girl being inspired by one of her favorite movies, and innocently drawing out her fantasy of being in the movie with her imaginary friends on the family room walls! The bright colors are used to evoke feelings of wonder, bliss, and other positive aspects that are commonly associated with youths.
"MASKING" is a mental health art piece which depicts a young woman who is forced to wear a mask to live up to all the demanding expectations people have for her, which takes a heavy toll. The cloudy black atmosphere represents how trapped and overwhelmed the young woman feels from all the pointing fingers and critical words she’s receiving, which are accentuated in white to resemble how loud and overbearing they are.

THE WEIGHT
"THE WEIGHT" is a mental health art piece which depicts how trauma can be passed down through generations, which is represented by the aforementioned weight itself. The Grandmother (first figure) bears the weight with a stoic composure, which is passed down to the Mother (second figure), who forces herself to be strong even though the weight is burdensome. The Daughter (third figure) is the first person to break the cycle, pulling at the chains with all her might as she sheds tears from the painful process. She was able to succeed as the Future Daughter (fourth figure) wears a bright smile on her face as she doesn't have the weight around her neck, being the first one brought into a generation of healing.
