This game is very original, and the art is pretty good! I specially liked the fire animation, he gets very angry and apears a gun frum his shell, really cool!
The bad thing is the controls. It's not a good idea to use the mouse buttons if the mouse itself has no use, and (it's my opinion, but) I hate when I cant jump with W. ;-;
Really cool game !!
I like the way you introduce the story to the players in such a simple but awesome way :D
Also, a super smart snail that shoots, dashes and jump across the garden to find the little snails? That's a super original idea !!
Great job, you got my rating :)
I love platformers and this one is pretty well put together. Controls feel good. Graphics look great for a Jam game. The awkward loop in the level music is irritating but didn't ruin the experience. One small suggestion: I think maybe the screen scrolls up too early when jumping; maybe wait until Charlie is closer to the top of the screen before scrolling up. Overall, nicely done!
Thanks for the feedback!
I want to save all the snails and make everyone happies, good job on the game.
I love the art in this game!! Looks amazing and plays well too -liked the story too -awesome work!! :D
Thanks for the kind words!
Well im glad I was able to save some of the children, looking forward to the update where I can save the rest :) The art was beautiful throughout the game but did find the movement speed to be slow even though I was a snail haha
Thanks for playing!
Snails do move slow :)
This game is really unconventional
Only the movement speed is way to slow
Thanks!
That is the speed of the snail - that is why he is mechanically enhanced :)!
This was so fun!! The snail's slow speed took some getting used to but after that it was really fun! And the story was really funny! That ending though D: Nooo I was too slow
Awesome work, the art is really nice and this was really fun!!
Thank you so much!! Glad to know you played the whole game and enjoyed it, even if it led to a sad ending!
R.I.P. Wilbur, Henry, Niki, Amelie, Hannah, and Tommy. :(
I love the art style! Good job!
R.I.P. indeed. :( But thank you, it is very much appreciated!
Really cool man!
Thank you man!
I HATE GNOMES!
Good job. Cyberpunk snail.
Thank you! Glad to hear that enemies and their designs were despicable enough.
❄ very appealing art style, the shell mounted gun was funny, I wish there was a better way to be sure you saved all of the children though, so often when I got to them they were already gone and it feels a little sad to see you couldn't do anything cause it happened off screen
I love the art style! the controls are nice and solid and everything worked first try. :)
Thank you!! Happy to hear that everything worked for you in the game. :)
The Snail has an Assault Rifle
Art is absolutely incredible! Plus all the animations look great! The gameplay is a lot harder than it appears, it took dying a few times to finally get it and really it was only because I knew what was coming up and could hit it early. But overall, good job!
I'd appreciate if you could play/rate my game as well! :)
Thank you! :) Glad to know that you played it through and enjoyed it, it does take some time to figure out the levels.
Just played/rated your game as well!
This game is fun, and the art is amazing!
