Abruptly reincarnated as a dung beetle, you’ll battle a colorful cast of the neighborhood’s baddest bugs as you scoot, scuttle, and shoot your way through charming 3D worlds. Ball up whatever material you can find, then sling it at your foes—or hop on and ride it around to outmaneuver them!
New bug in town. Face down a dastardly coterie of colorful bosses in a fun, fast-paced boss rush format.
Paint it brown. Roll up mud, sand, snow, and whatever else you can find into physics balls that persist when released and merge together dynamically. Bosses paint new material with their attacks as often as they steal it out from under you, so keep things moving to stay ahead!
Fling that thing. Lob chunks of your ball for quick, snappy attacks—or charge up and launch the whole thing for devastating damage. Roll little balls to stay mobile and keep your options open, or build up a massive one for a bigger ammo pool and hard-hitting attacks.
Your ride is here. Balls of debris are your ammo and your steed. When it's time to skedaddle, hop on top and ride them around to pick up the pace and outmaneuver your foes. You can transition seamlessly on and off of balls, and even attack while riding!
Return to an era. Inspired by the idiosyncrasies of sixth-generation console games, Death of a Dungslinger recaptures the atmosphere of oddball classics you only played at your cousin's house.
Bossa nova. An original genre-hopping soundtrack by COLOURMODE touches on jungle, acid, and bossa nova, lending every bug their own distinctive banger. You'll be tapping your feet as you tap out perfect shots at those villainous invertebrates!
