Welcome to  where cheating is the only option.

How To Play

Use WASD to move your dung beetle character. Sneak behind ladybug to read their cards and then head for orange insect at other end of table to tell them if they should put all in or fold. You will get credits for all in. Evade mosquitoes and holes. Every half minute dice-level will roll. Try to be in safe zone when that happens. More info below...

Story So Far

Enter the life of D. Ung Beetle III, a former pickpocket who have been down ever since they lost a hand in a drunken nightly brawl in front of a bbq-grill. Their first legitimate business is not going too well either.

 House always wins! they said. It is easy money, they said.

Legitimate business up my arse. It is time to steal the money of those foolish, rich, fat ladybugs. Work together with your partner Bug S. Atan II to clear the tables. Spy ladybugs to gather information about their cards. 

But beware!

Ladybugs have powerful and ruthless "friends". They are some real bloodsuckers too, but they can't rob anyone, if you do it first.

Even worse!

The whole casino is built on top of a loaded dice. Of course it is, rent was low and owner won't snoop around too much. But it is constantly in use, as cheating is a full day job. So every 30 seconds, the side of the dice is going to change. And cheater's dice has holes in it. Make sure you are in a safe area when change happens, or wish for low roll.

Meet the heroic cast!

D. Ung Beetle III

Our hero, D. Beetle.  As beautiful from the inside as their appearance lets you assume.

Control with WASD. Sneak behind ladybirds and steal information about their cards. Then whisper it into the ear of your partner in crime.

Notice that you have small window of air control to avoid pips and enemies when dropped in new side!

Bug S. Atan II

rumoured to be working as an assasin formerly

Your partner in crime and one to inform about ladybugs' hand.

Family of Ladybugs

Born to a rich and powerful family, they have never learned to not trust strangers. They want so badly to be one of the bad boys and that usually leads them to shady places like the Casino D. Beetle. Don't consider cheating in game a crime, think of it as a social responsibility. The Mosquito Gang would rob them anyways, and they are not as gentle with their methods as you are.

Sneak behind them and stay there until you see their hand. Then go back to your partner and they will decide to either put ALL IN or FOLD. In case of ALL IN your credit count will rise.

Mosquitos

Gang of real bloodsuckers and a pain in your arse. Avoid them like equine encephalomyelitis.

S. Cabies O'Mite

Your trusty bartender. Some might make mistake and think there is nothing inside the shell, because you will never get any reaction from this folk, but at least they keep their mouth shut about your shady businesses.

Pips

Another one to avoid. As this is no ordinary dice, but a loaded one, it has some nasty tricks built in. Inside of it is the super secret headquarters of Mosquito Corp. Fall in from these trapdoors and you will spend the rest of your life in a Mosquito built jail. Mosquito enemies also spawn from these.

Tips!!!!

-Try to get to the edge when a roll is about to happen. 

-If you want to get far, prioritize staying far from enemies, especially on more crowded levels. Spare racking up credits for easier sides.

-Notice that not all pips appear equally. Here is diagram showing how many sides each pip occurs. Notice that center is not optimal place to be, as enemies tend to look there first.
