I loved the way I could shape my own dung ball - it was fun trying to find the optimal shape for rolling. The music was also great.
The controls were a bit difficult to use. I kept accidently quitting when I had finished my dungball (pressed escape instead of space). The camera rotation could have done with being more sensitive (was a bit slow). Edit: I also found that unless I was right on top of the dung pile, pressing space did not open the dung menu despite the prompt being visible.
Overall an awesome game and I had fun playing! It was satisfying when I finally managed to roll a dung ball to the flag.
The music and sound really elevated the game, and the skybox and distant hills gave a nice sense of scale. Gameplay was fairly basic, but I appreciate the ability to shape your dung ball and can see there are plenty of mechanics left on the table if you had more time. I got to the end, there's bonus music at the end! A+ would roll again.
