About

A metroidvania platformer where you control a dung beetle tethered to a ball, navigating the world via pinball flippers and bumpers. You're the new postman on Mokumana Island, but an ancient god's nightmares are causing earthquakes and storms. Progress by bouncing through interconnected zones, unlocking shortcuts and abilities as you explore. Mechanics include vacuuming explosive snails, feeding lemurs, and solving environmental puzzles—all while pinned to your ball. The traversal feels distinct: you don't jump freely; instead, you hit flippers to launch upward or across gaps. Hand-painted visuals give the island a storybook look. Quests range from rebuilding the post office to investigating a Fruit Altar mystery. It's gentle in difficulty but demands spatial planning since you can't always control your exact landing spot. Works for players who want exploration without punishing combat.
