- Although this game is simple looking, it had more depth to it than I was expecting. I actually had a decent amount of fun with this game. No bugs from what I could tell, great usage of the theme, I thought it was clever, and the art was pretty good. I dig the creativity used in the intro song too haha! My ONLY critique would be that it's clear the each creatures' hitbox lies at its center, and this creates a disadvantage for the snails especially when it comes to fighting longer enemies such as the cricket. The snails take 2-3 hits before they can even reach the cricket's hitbox. Other than that, great game!

Tell us about your game!
Got the theme of "it's spreading", took be back to my childhood and had a snail infestation in the garden where the snails were getting everywhere. Took inspiration from PlagueInc and Battle Cats, and crappy flash games from the 2010's ish era. Conquer the WORLD! when we add more levels in an extended version, for now, the garden, OF FATES AND DREAMS, actually just a garden, for now.

Extra Notes
Much love, Pirate Software reinvigorated my passion for making games. Took this jam as an opportunity to pay it forward and help 2 other individuals learn how to make a game. The game developer fever is also spreading.

Nice cute game ! Got the theme on point !
Dominated the whole garden and I enjoyed it ! Would have like more to also have some "defense" to do but I read in other comment that you planned to add it :)
And eventually they will take over the world :)
Thank you for sharing your snails they were very well-behaved and only did some light seizing the garden by force. I enjoyed the snail designs, and the chunky and gun combo was ace, couldn't go wrong!
It's a nice little game with cute graphics and sound.
Had a wonderful time playing this. Could not stop until my snail army stood victorious.
I enjoyed that it lived up to the name. At first I was trying to strategize with my snails as I had a low amount, but then I was the snail god and I would sent 30+ cheap snails in to attack everything. The rat has nothing against 35 snails.
Would enjoy if the enemy bugs pushed into my territory and I had to defend a bit, but it was fun otherwise!
This was an idea but we needed to reduce complexity, future iteration perhaps ;)
Hey, cool game! The intro really got me, it was really funny and well made. The gameplay was fun, though I feel like descriptions of what the different snails do would be helpful. I figured the more expensive ones were just stronger, so I just got the most expensive ones I could each time. I think it would also be interesting if you had to earn snails through gameplay instead of just waiting for them. Overall, nice entry!
Very fun game, gun snail was my favorite!
Gun snail was my favorite snail to design! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
