I liked the game but the controls are not very good. I think there are some feedbacks to the player.

Nice game. Controls are really not very convenient. Didn't get at the beggining that I have to kill all of the snails. I prefer more pacifist outcome when it's up to such a nice creatures. And holding Space to open doors doesn't seem very obvious.

Good luck!

@rapter thank you so much, it was really stressful to get this minimal gameplay coded in time. I worked backwards starting with the boss so I could be sure the boss fight would feel satisfying.

@plepletier Feedback to the player? If you mean that he keeps moving after you release a button, it's either lag or a bug I haven't yet experienced, sorry about that!

@n-feofentov I'll keep that in mind next LD, I tried using text boxes this year to make gameplay clear, but it seems I missed a good opportunity to explain how to open a door. There was actually a text box that said to kill all the snails at the very start but you must have missed it :( rip them.

It was very difficult to attack sometimes since you always faced right if you weren't moving. Really cool graphics. I'm sad to admit that after SEVERAL tries, I could not bring down the boss. Oh well! Maybe I'll try again later. Cool work, even minimal sound would improve it.

Graphics are mood are very good. Liked how you kind of tell a story very simply. Attacking controls felt a bit clunky. The space key to open door should be instantaneous. Music and sound would have been great.

Cool pixelart and nice gameplay concept. I had an small bug: after replaying it two times (one normal, one boss-only), in the first level the door didn't show after killing all snails. Good job!

@delalandii Thanks for the report, I fixed the bug along with some other related issues.
