  • Fun game! I found a bug where if you go too far up outside of the screen, you can navigate without getting hit by anything cause the bullets dont load. In addition, moving backwards is veryy difficult, i assume due to not normalizing movement against the screen movement. Story is quite fun, levels are challenging. Mob variety was fun! Thank you for sending it in!

Summarise your game!
Armored Snail is a vertical scrolling shoot em’ up game about ecological and economical parasites.

A parasite in a swamp witnesses the death of a snail due to the mishandlings of an evil corporation. The snail becomes the weapon as the parasite pilots it to revenge!

We focused on the story elements of the game over the bullet hell mechanics. The controls are WASD keyboard + mouse to aim/shoot.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You, the player, traverse the first level as a snail. The parasite then takes control of the snail’s body. You are technically still the snail, but you’re being used by the parasite as a weapon.

Another argument can be made that the snail is the weapon acting upon the destruction of an evil entity that’s plaguing the land.

Struggled a lot at the beginning, untli I discovered you could hold to shoot and just focused on hiding behind cover.

Great presentation, loved the little narrative going on! Gameplay is very rudimentary, but for a first game the fact that it's finished is an achievement in itself. Good work and hope you'll keep at it!
