Two beetles join forces together to offer their most precious treasure to the gods. This game requires the player to control two characters at the same time in order to conquer different levels. It also can be played co-op sharing the keyboard or a gamepad.

Gameplay is simple and effective, but the art is outstanding, must be the best looking one I've seen so far. Congrats!
Thank you!
Classical interpretation of the theme but it looks so georgious !
Thanks!!
Love the art, I would play any game featuring these beetles. The single player experience wasn't great, I'm not a fan of puzzle games where the main challenge is getting the controls to do what you want. But I think it would be fantastic fun for 2 players.
The beetles really are the best!
Thanks! <3
SO CUTE! I love this game! I love everything about it from the name to the art and music to the mechanics! I love games that have non-human characters so extra points there! And also Egyptian mythology too and AND Egyptian mythology in a take that isn't orientalist/occultist! That's not that common and is really refreshing! I wear a ring that is this type of beetle because I love this symbolism, the power of the small yet mighty, appreciation for all levels and forms of life, seeing beauty in the mundane, and of course the sun! Thank you for making this game! I will definitely come back to it again!
I'm so happy you liked the theme!! thank you!! <3
I liked it so much! I sent it around to other people to make sure they got to enjoy the adorable beetles too! Also I (the animator/one of the artists for this game) gave you both a follow on twitter (I'm @genkisoda) because I wanted to see more of what you do!
That was amazing. Super fun concept. The characters are so cute, the step sound and the frantically running around to not make the ball fall cracks me up. Just to end up falling off the map with one of the characters.
Great submission. I love it.
Hahaha thank you!!
I played it together with the wife and we laughed our asses off every time one of us fell off. We both loved it.
omg!!! First of all I had a legit chuckle when i read the name. Secondly, Thiis was the best game i played so faar presentation wise!!! The music, the UI, the tutorial, the color palette, the characters! The character design is so good. I love the little pink/teal one. I want a plushie. It's pretty frustrating to plat alone, but I know that it was intended for more of a two player experience. I can't applud you guys enough. Super polished and I'm waiting for the full game.
Awww thanks for your comment, seriously!!
Great game, fun mechanic, good and fitting art, well polished.
This is impressive you pulled that off in the jam!
Made me wonder if it would be fun for a casual game for 2 players to play, where there's one ball but two goals for each player and they need to compete against each other. (The same controls, just 4 characters total) Sounds chaotic and fun.
Well done!
Sounds like tons of fun and chaotic beetle action! hahaha thank you for your comment and suggestion :)
Funny theme and well made! Great job !
Thanks!
Did I struggle? Yes. Did I have fun? Also yes.
Hahaha I'm happy you had fun!! (and struggled)
Omg the animations are perfection. And great visual design in general and coool music. What a great entry!
Thanks!!
i laugh a lot with my wife ahahah. The concept, the art, the animation everything was with a lot of detail and everything was so much fun. Thank you and keep making games!!!
Thank you for playing it!! <3
Nice game, highly integrated with the theme. The visual style looks juicy and the characters are cute. Very interested in the rendering method used.
Thanks!!
sooo cute!! visual concept is great! music too!
Thanks!
Those two little fellows had me from the get-go. Great visuals, reminds me a bit of Monument Valley. It feels really polished for 48 hours, especially the graphics. This feels already like a solid IP. If I were to improve one thing, it would be the force onto the ball, it felt a bit hardcore, I wish it was slightly easier to push the ball. 5/5 Overall!
Awww thank you seriously! and also thanks you for your feedback :D
Amazing game 10/10 would recommend to a friend
Thanks!!
What a great game! The tutorial was great and this just cracked me up from the beginning. Two wiggly bugs trying to push a ball of caca to their god is hilarious and fun! The animations are very advanced too, great job on that. Super great game!
Thank you!! <3
Very hard to play alone, but must be super fun to play co-op. in the third level one of the two bugs died, but I managed to bring the ball to the goal...just to learn that it couldn't surpass the line. I was a bit disappointed.
Great execution and smooth gameplay!
Hahaha yeah, the Caca Ball has a bit of inertia but you need both Ra and Apofis to really move it. Thanks for playing the game!!
This is cute!
Thank you! <3
I love this game! The art is great, the gameplay is fun, and the concept of sacrificing caca to the beetle god is hilarious! Very nice work overall!
Thanks!! I'm glad you like the concept! haha
I love the concept of dung beetles sacrificing caca for their god lmao
Thank you!! <3
