Evaluation

Beetleball launched its full 1.0 release on September 3, 2026, one day before this assessment. The game is an online multiplayer class-based sports title built around ongoing engagement features: an in-game shop, earnable currency (Beetle Bucks), cosmetic loot boxes (Beetle Eggs), ranked play, leaderboard-tied limited-time modes, and a growing roster of unlockable beetle classes and cosmetics. These systems are hallmarks of a game designed to grow and evolve over time. Before launch, the developer ran an active public demo from at least late January 2026 through early September 2026, shipping four substantial updates during that period (January 29, February 23, March 1, and April 3, 2026). The full launch on September 3 introduced a large wave of new content including two new beetle classes (Atlas and Bee Beetle), new maps, quests, passive abilities, a new cosmetic category (hat slots), and an expanded cosmetic library. The only DLC listed is a cosmetic supporter pack, which was released on launch day and is purely optional. The developer has not announced any specific upcoming content, expansions, or roadmap — but the game's design and the studio's pre-launch activity pattern both suggest continued development is expected. Because the game only just launched, there is not yet enough post-1.0 history to confirm what that update cadence will look like going forward.

About this game

Beetleball is a chaotic team-based PvP beetle soccer game where you score goals with dungballs.

ROLL DUNG, SCORE GOALS

What do you get when you combine up to 12 players at once, flashy beetle abilities, and a ton of dung balls? The greatest dung beetle soccer game ever made. Probably.

TEAM UP

Teamplay and creativity matters just as much as mechanics. Experiment with beetle class team comps to climb ranks, or just mess around with friends in custom lobbies.

USE CRAZY ABILITIES

Teleport from ball to ball with the Tiger Beetle, create mushroom launchpads as the Fungus Beetle, shoot ladybugs out of the air with the Cyborg Beetle's laser sniper, and much more! Cyborg beetles are real, ok?

COMPETE FOR DUNG

Merge many balls into one GOLDEN DUNGBALL to score. Multiple balls in play adds a new layer of team strategy beyond standard one ball soccer.

PLAY IN ACTUAL MAPS

Glide from dandelions to donuts, roll dungballs up cakes (gross), and headbutt enemies off of sandcastles. Beetleball's unique map design offers much more variety than standard FLAT and BORING soccer fields.

CLIMB THE RANKS

Outsmart enemy beetles with class synergies, map tricks, and momentum plays to become the biggest and best beetle baller to ever roll dung.

BECOME BEETLE-FUL

Have you ever seen a beetle with a hat on? Now you have. Isn't it cute? Level up, get beetle bucks, and blow them all on beetle eggs for a chance at mythical cosmetics.
