The tiniest creature holds the greatest power!

小小蜣螂力量大!

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the dung beetle symbolizes rebirth and light as it pushes the sun across the sky. Proudly being one of them, you accept a misson to deliver a bulb to the top of the world, willing to gain the title of Dawn Beetle and prove to everyone that the tiniest creature holds the greatest power!

在古埃及神话中,蜣螂象征着重生和光明,因为人们认为它推动着太阳升起。作为它们中的一员,你接受了一个任务,把一个灯泡送到世界之巅,以此获得黎明蜣螂的称号,并向所有人证明,小小蜣螂力量大!

This is kind of a Getting Over It type game, but we didn't made it that hard, and the game is short anyways so enjoy!

这是个掘地求升类型的游戏,但是我们没做那么难,而且游戏很短,希望你喜欢!

Known bugs

已知bug

1.Weird collisions cause lag spikes on the first touch and disappear after.

2.Weird collisions cause player to stuck in the floor and ramps, just rotate the camera and it will probably be fine, or just hold the ball to move.

3.Fun fact, you can easily go out of the map, but that does nothing, so don't do it!

4.You after beating the game.

1.奇怪的碰撞箱会在第一次触碰时卡顿,之后就消失

2.奇怪的地板和斜坡碰撞箱会卡住玩家,转视角基本能解决,或者干脆控制球移动

3.其实你能轻易飞到地图之外,但是没有卵用,所以别出去!

4.打通游戏后的你(英文梗)

Nice game overall, I finished it! It was great to have some sort of "practice area" at the beginning to get used to the mechanics. And the switch in the music was nice :smile:

This game is very impressive for a game jam game. The art is very refined, as well as the movement and physics of the beetle rolling the bulb. I found it very challenging, but rewarding. For that reason I really appreciate the inclusion of checkpoints. It feels like the whole team really put everything into this game and it shows. Congradualtions to all of you!

Not sure if this was meant to be a rage game (I think so from the description), but oof I did rage I found it hard due to the lightbulb disconnecting from our beetle when in certain angles haha. Great game with cool graphics and level design, congrats on the entry!
