Dung Slinger
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Dung Slinger
is a physics based platformer about a dung beetle chained to a dung ball. The challenge of the game is using the ball to move both it and the character through the level.
Imprisoned for being yourself
The little Dung Beetle was chained to their Dung Ball and thrown into the deepest cell of the anthill castle. With a strange fungus going rampant in the castle, turning all the ants into mindless zombies, now is your chance to help the little Dung Beetle escape their prison and get back their freedom!
The challenges ahead...
The anthill castle has 5 floors, each with their own mechanics to help you master control over your Dung Ball and to challenge you into becoming a true Dung Slinger! Oh and please help out any fireflies you see caged up along the way, the poor fellas don't seeming to be doing so good themselves...
Full Controller Support
The game is playable with Mouse / Keyboard or Controller!

Solid videogame design, fresh ball-and-chain mechanic that is easy to learn and allows really fun movement when mastered, and all-around enjoyable gameplay.
This one is a winner. Looking forward for an extended commercial version!
Wow!! Really great fun! The pacing felt just right. Level 3 was my favorite, the bouncy floors are such a fun pairing with the physics.
Really fun short game, loved the Artstyle and gameplay.
The movement is very smooth and satisfying to complete levels and passages with.
Will recommend further.
Wow, this game is really fun to play. At the start it has a learning curve but when you wrap you head around hitting the dung ball as movement the game feels incredibly satisfying. I love how good it feels to combo the ball to fly through the level. It's honestly one of the best games I've played. Also the vibe and ascetics of this game are awesome. Well done.
Heavyweight freshmen! Nice!
love it
