Who would have thought the stakes could be so high when you're moving so slow? Once I understood that I would not be playing a snail but a little guy inside the shell fortress of my snail, I got the hang of it. The music speeding up really ramps up the drama as you approach the end of the garden, and you've really gotta rush from the back to the front to speed up in between ants. There's good legs on this mechanic.
