About:

In Rolley Sh❤t you are a dung beetle an want to impress your love... by creating the biggest ball of sh*t this world has ever seen, of course. Roll up everything in your path and make your dream come true.

Gameplay:

You start with a small ball of sh*t and need to increase its size by rolling up obstacles in your way, whether they are alive or not. A green border indicates if your ball is large enough to absorb another obstacle.

Watch out to not hit anything that your ball of sh*t can't handle yet. If your ball of sh*t is hit by anything larger than it, you will take damage and lose progress. You recover health by absorbing obstacles again.

You can evade too large obstacles by either moving out of their way or by jumping over them. There might be situations were jumping is your only option.

You can also shoot your ball in front of you to quickly roll over obstacles in your way. A shot ball cannot be damaged by any holes on its way.

Collect power-ups to temporarily gain benefits.

Controls:

* Move: WASD
* Jump: Space
* Aim: Mouse
* Shoot your ball: Left mouse button

NoniGirl7 Oct 2019, 23:22

Nice idea! :D I really like the intro and thoughts of the bug. Gratulations to your outcome

starvingindie7 Oct 2019, 23:24

I'm Firefox (windows) and unfortunately all I got was a blank black screen :( On the plus side, this looks like a godot game! Yay for Godot!

Nice idea!

Morkiche7 Oct 2019, 23:26

Nice game !
But if the player stays don't jump before a crevasse, it can disapear from the screen and the game is still playing.

Very enjoyable definitely got a giggle out of me with the picture of the lady bug just being another bug with a bow.

Lukvasando7 Oct 2019, 23:28

Holly shit!

JD Parker7 Oct 2019, 23:29

Amazing Game! Great intro! Art reminds me of scratch sprites, which was nostalgic af :D

I was laughing the whole time, and I destroyed a city with poop. 10/10

fun but gross

SparkoftheWest7 Oct 2019, 23:35

Amazing art and animation for this

Caesura7 Oct 2019, 23:36

Oh my god it has a loading bar and an animated start screen. How the heck did you guys find time for that? Also great game.

Stone Pacifier7 Oct 2019, 23:36

This is lovely! Stone Pacifier gives this two thumbs up.

A fun game, but I felt the first two levels felt pretty much the same, and the while the last level introduced one new mechanic, it didn't feel that different from the first two (this is from playing on the easiest mode).

kleinzach7 Oct 2019, 23:42

I love it so much! I really appreciate how out of hand it gets, for sure top marks for humor! Dung beetles are my favorite kind of bug, they are so silly. Also the idea of a katamari endless runner works well, and the difficulty curve felt just right. Great job to the whole team!

Skyeward7 Oct 2019, 23:43

I was genuinely surprised and super happy to see that not only does rolling up a rock or grasshopper appear in your poop, but they're even both visible together if you roll them up simultaneously! Nive consistent art style, well done :)

Lifeinacemetery7 Oct 2019, 23:44

Very fun! couldn't resist playing it to the end!

Space Wumpus7 Oct 2019, 23:44

Surprisingly fun for such a simple idea! I like the scale progression through the levels, and the end screen!

Banana0907 Oct 2019, 23:47

This was literally first game I played 'till the end. Nice idea and good gameplay!

dry-squid7 Oct 2019, 23:55

My first thought when I lost a piece of my ball was... "OH SHIT!" lol Liked the game, the art was beautiful

Khud09 Oct 2019, 19:12

Awesome! The story and sh

blobo10 Oct 2019, 00:20

Hahaa! What an... interesting idea. I love the opening cutscene. great work on the art all around!

ivexnuke10 Oct 2019, 00:40

Really nice idea! Reminds me a lot of Katamari

oceanm10 Oct 2019, 00:51

I really enjoyed the progression in this game. At first it was a bit tricky though to get used to jumping in a top down view.

AMastryukov10 Oct 2019, 00:55

This game is hilarious, and it's not just a gimmick. The gameplay was engaging and challenging enough to keep me playing until the end. Graphics were well done as well. Overall it was fantastic, innovative and funny. Great work!

Adafheyesh10 Oct 2019, 00:59

Fun! The art looks great. I like how the environment scales up from level to level to really emphasize how you're growing.

Gameplay-wise, I didn't really notice a difference between the easiest and the hardest difficulty. Also, I found that I didn't use the shooting mechanic that often, because it felt like it was more likely to hit an obstacle than not. I did like how the enemies would stop at a jump barrier, effectively resetting the level -- that made it so that I always felt like there was a chance to come back and win, even if I went down to my last life.

Overall, good entry!

Shredmer10 Oct 2019, 01:28

Overall I think the game is pretty well made :)

EloraBrynn10 Oct 2019, 01:29

I LOVE the dung beetle theme, super clever! Well done!

Eranot10 Oct 2019, 01:29

Best game I played 10/10

ryzy2710 Oct 2019, 12:02

Cool idea and well polished game. Has all components I value. Nice graphics, sound effects and interesting background track.

Gameplay is engaging, even on easy difficulty. At the beginning I wasn't sure why my health dropped when I hit rock. Perhaps you could add red outline to harmful scenery elements like you did for the moving enemies.

Great job! Cheers!

This an interesting game. I had a lot of fun playing it.
