About the Game

In Dung Battles, what you see is either yours or your opponent's to roll up! Roll over any object, and add it to your dung ball's mass. Be smart about what you pick up, and use it to your advantage.

In Battle Mode, face off against CPU or Online foes in timed collectathon battles! You will have only a limited time to roll over whatever you can find. Be careful though, enemy beetles may pick up sharp objects to pry chunks off your ball! 

May the biggest dung ball win!

In Story Mode, play as Skootle, a lost little beetle who, with the help of a variety of bugs, must find his way through a perilous forest to get home.
