Bat Menu: a Halloween micro-interaction

The burger becomes a cross and bats fly out to become the menu. A free, live navigation for spooky season.

Updated November 2026

Add the Bat Menu to React or Next.js

  1. Pick an animation above. Open it in ExodeUI to change its text and colours, or keep it as it is.
  2. Download the .bexode file and put it in your public folder.
  3. Install the runtime with npm i exodeui.
  4. Render it with ExodeUICanvas. Taps and hovers work out of the box.
import { ExodeUICanvas } from 'exodeui';

export function BatMenu() {
  return (
    <ExodeUICanvas
      src="/ui-gallery/files/bat-menu.bexode"
      autoPlay
      style={{ width: 400, height: 300 }}
    />
  );
}
