Lovely idea and execution! But in five minutes of playing I hadn't found any children! D: Eventually the desolate music and the lack of children became unbearably depressing, but I enjoyed this, and haven't played anything else like it this jam! Well done.

How does your game fit the theme?
rolling a dung ball is the most out of control movement mechanic out there

Man the graphics are dope!
this has potential but i think i need it to be a little less out of control (i know i know, the theme), i couldn't find the children outside the tutorial.. so i just explored a bit.. it was fun finding trees :)
if you keep developing, conciser adding a market to get back to your home
Quite a dramatic story. Very nice. I also agree with everyone else.
I have mixed feelings about this game, but all of them are good! The movement is really fun to play around with, the presentation of the world and music are hauntingly beautiful, and the characters are bugs that play with poop. I don't know how you crammed all of that into 48 hours of work, but it is great. My one gripe is that the theme isn't all that prevalent, though that was never a requirement. Overall, amazing work!
Nice job! The graphics and the effects of the game made me feel really immersed, and you did a good job of making the player feel small compared to the world. Well done :)
I wonder if this beetle got struct by lighting between different poop and toilet paper and becames a speedster dung beetle. Man does this little bug speed up. It gets out of control really fast for sure. It is looking quite advanced because of the 3D and Material stuff. Even a fade in / fade out for the menu or exiting the game, cool :)
This is a really cool game and its pretty fun just rolling around the world. Only thing I'd say is I couldn't find many of the children. The graphics are amazing tho!
The game is so great, has an original idea and plays amazing. Also, fits well the theme and the story is nice.
I could only find 3 children but the game is amazing. 5/5
