Beetle Bolt

Made for GMTK 2025.

THE GAME:

You are a beetle that has unfortunately lost the use of your legs (oh no!) as they have become all covered in balls of mud (yucky!)

You need to complete as many loops of the dirt track in the forest as you can to try break the mud off. As mud breaks of you get faster and faster (wow free legs!). Try not to swerve onto the grass or you'll get stuck (oh dear!)

CONTROLS:

W/S: forward/reverse
A/D: Steer
Space: Jump
Right click: rotate camera
Scroll: Zoom in/out
Escape: return to main menu

Notes:
The menu buttons don't line up with their respective beetle properly on non 16:9 monitors, sorry
