Very cool and a lot of fun. I didn't think the game could possibly live up to the name, but against all odds I had a blast. It really gets fast there at the end!

Is that a reference to that "Would you take 1 million dollars, but a smart immortal snail will always know your location and can kill you once it touches you? ". Quite sure it is, and it is goddamn smart

You win for Best Game Title!  I got all but one treasure... then that dang knife-wielding snail hunted me down :(

You get a 5 in Creativity my friend, as I have never seen a snail hold a knife before. It was fun and I only wanted more, nice job!

The title of the game is surprisingly descriptive haha. 

The game design in and of itself is simple to grasp and yet fun in its execution. The level design could have been a bit more inspired or maybe spiced up by adding some level detail. An even more anxious sounding theme song would perhaps also be a nice addition. But these are just minor polish ideas. A nice game idea and well executed!

Not a single person can say that they've played a game with this theme prior to this jam. What a weird and wonderful theme. 

As described, the game took a bit to load in ;)

The premise is fun and the level design felt pretty interesting, with lots of ways to loop and delay the snail. I really enjoyed that. I less enjoyed that there were paths that were too small for the character and that I frequently got stuck on corners. A little more polish on that could make a big improvement on the game feel. 

Well done and congrats on finishing this in just a few days! I enjoyed it :)
