You're a little dung beetle with a crappy job, just trying to make a living pushing poop up a hill.



What is this?

"Little Dung Guy" is a journaling game about your sisyphean work life as a dung beetle. You're a tiny worker on its way to a better life. Are you going to fight for your rights? Are you finally going to see Dr.Snail? Are you going to join the union?

You start with a little piece of poop and collect more on your way up the hill. The size of your ball of dung corresponds to different dice. You start with a D4 and if you’re successful, you might just make it up the hill with a D20.

Like my other games, "Little Dung Guy" also features some scientific facts about its animal protagonist. Maybe you want to have a look at my game "200 year old Greenland shark" as well.

A fun little game! I played this last weekend and it was a great way to spend a chill afternoon with some thematic and game-ified writing prompts. My little dung guy (Dug) made it to the top on his second attempt.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the game. It makes me so happy that you had fun pushing around some dung balls.

Second attempt! Not bad!

May the stars guide you on your journey!
