Death of a Dungslinger

Play in browser now!

Made for Boss Rush Jam 2025.

Take on a horde of malicious invertebrate bosses as you roll, ride, and sling whatever refuse you find on the ground to earn retribution for the sins of your past life.

Paint the Town Brown

Death of a Dungslinger uses a splatoon-like approach to ground terrain, letting you paint and gather groundcover as you roll up mud, snow, sand and more. The groundcover is your ammo and means of faster locomotion. Bosses will paint the ground or remove groundcover out from under you. Roll up a bigger ball for massive damage!

Bossa Nova

Featuring an all-original soundtrack by COLOURMODE (available now on Bandcamp!) which gives each boss and level their own unique theme, you'll be tapping your feet as you tap out perfect hits on the bug scum that your mysterious benefactor has ordered to be eliminated.

A Different Retro Era

Taking inspiration from the PS2 era of games, with their hard-to-skip cutscenes and somewhat obscure mechanics, Death of a Dungslinger aims to recapture the look and feel of games you might play at your cousin's house that your parents wouldn't let you buy, like Mister Mosquitto or Tom and Jerry: War of the Whiskers.

Options? In My Browser-Based Jam Game?

Death of a Dungslinger features full native controller support- no need to enable in the menus. However, if you find yourself hankering for some tinkerin', this jam game features a full options menu. In the windows build, crank that puppy all the way up to 4K for some glorious graphics that might make you say, "Am I supposed to be seeing these low rez models in such clarity?"
