Grab a cup of tea and a blanket and snuggle in as you find and deliver lost packages while you explore a unique, cozy little island.

Theme interpretation
The packages are hidden around the map. Sort of.

This was a very relaxing game to play, Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

As far as I can see on the screenshots, the path should be smoother, especially since the game doesn’t have a jump function. The game really caught my interest, but unfortunately, I couldn’t progress further. I’m playing the Windows version — is this an issue on my end or a bug in the version?

The visuals and music captivated me, and the title animations are beautifully done . I’d love to have the chance to fully experience the gameplay as well!

Sorry for the late reply. That screenshot was taken before some last minute revisions to the tutorial were made. The snow removal mechanic is taught in by talking to the first house. You press space while next to a block of snow you want to remove.

Once you learn that mechanic you can get through the snow without any issues. Its only certain blocks of snow that can be cleared. You can tell by the outline and different texture of the clearable snow. Please have another go at the game, and thanks for commenting!

The web version crashed my browser

Developer

If you have issues with the web version we have a Mac and Windows version for you to download (as stated in the description). Please feel free to try out that :)

Really chill, cozy music, cool graphics, funny dialogues, not too easy but not too hard and a great experience! Love it. Baguette.

Developer

thanks for the praise :)

A relaxing experience full of charm. Puzzleton has a unique atmosphere, and the music fits it perfectly!

Developer

Thanks for the priase!

Love the artstyle in this and the puzzle theme.  Very cozy

Hi!
Would it be possible to fix the web version or add a mac version?

Developer(+1)

I've just added a mac version. Feel free to try out the game and leave a review :)

Submitted

Thanks, trying it right now. If someone wants to try the mac version, you might have to chmod the file

In the  mac version it is impossible to read the text, as it is hidden behind the "Thanks for playing Snail Mail" text.

I'm sorry, i dont have a mac to test the build on. I'll get to work on fixing it!

Developer(+1)

It should be fixed now

I liked a lot the art style and music. I would have appreciated some controls explaination, like the possibility to remove the snow. I could not complete the last box, probably that's the most difficult, but I had literally no clue were to look to complete it. Overall great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! The possibility to remove snow was actually told to the player in the dialogue with the first house, although I feel many people skip through the dialogue.

First of all I really liked the art-style of this game. The screenshots got me interested right away. I think some fine-tuning on the game since I got a bit confused in the beginning. I like the controls, the concept,  and the setting. Very well done and nice to play. PS I didn't get it working through the browser but downloaded the git-repo instead which worked! 

Developer

There was a windows zip download lol (did you not see the construction snails on the web?). Thanks for the feedback

Oh right my bad ^^But thanks for the cool game!

Submitted

I was a little confused at first since I didn’t read the game page and didn’t talk to the house where I spawned. Some in-game text would be great. When I saw the shovel and the snow I thought I could plow the snow away but I couldn’t. Also, I walked to a cube, I pressed space, it disappeared but nothing happened.

It may be the web version but when I play there is a “thanks for playing” message on top of the text all the time.

Developer

you might want to try playing the windows version it works a lot better than the web version which is super buggy

sweet game :3
i feel like the devs should have spent some more time in testing the game (e.g. u can easily fall off the map which could have been prevented easily )

Developer

The web version is broken (as said by the snails in the description), try playing the windows version that one should work fine :)

Submitted

sorry didnt see the sign

Peaceful game about snail with headphones rushing through the snow to deliver packages. Calm and relaxing.
