Really interesting design! (although I was stuck in level2...) Love how the snail reacts when I shot him.

I liked the idea really. I think there could be a bit more interesting stuff around. Maybe some jokes etc. And maybe exit position could be change each time we try.

This game is ridiculous and I love it XD Amazing job! very unique. I find that It would be hilarious if the game edged towards a dark deception kinda of route, by adding more snails or something but I love it either way

Loved playing this game it was so creepy in terms of atmosphere with the music and art but coupled with the voice liens from the snail the whole experience was great. Maybe some more variety would improve the game , but I thought it was great overall.

Snail has got me. Oddly terrifying!

One of the lines from the snail actually made me laugh out loud. Nice work

Yesssss! So glad you made a game about the snail. Great audio with the voices and nice smooth gameplay. :)

I loved the lines from the snail, and the gun, even if it is only for moral support.

Ah yes, the ol' snail hypothetical. This really is one of the best takes on the theme, ha! I should've read that there were 11 levels before goin into it, because as soon as I beat level 10 I just assumed it went on forever and closed the game. The voice acting is fantastic, and I love how the gun exists but does nothing but make the snail taunt you. It's pretty useful for shooting around corners and listening for a snail's response though. Hilarious idea, and wonderfully executed.

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for feedback! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1448039281

Fun stuff. The (mostly) useless pop gun was in many ways the highlight of the game for me. Reminded me (in a good way) of Untitled Goose Game and Yoku's Island Express.

Great use of light to guide the player and also misdirect.

Some good humor with the snail's reaction to being shot. The music was pretty decent too. As far as the game, I guess it did what it said on the page. I would have liked a bit more design put into the mazes. Maybe 3 well thought out mazes rather than 11 that I couldn't really tell apart. I'd have liked to see maybe some distinct areas of the mazes, at least a color change or something to help know one part of the maze from another.

I am not sure why I have the gun for moral support lol. I wanted to shot it and couldn't figure it out. I also had problems because I wanted to follow the arrows, but I guess they led nowhere? But it's a fun concept, with some nice humour. I also liked the minimalist music

This was really fun! I really liked the teleporting part where I had to constnatly be careful of which corner it would be around.

Wait a moment! You and the snail are both immortal, but he can kill you but you can't kill him?. Shooting was fun even though it didn't do any damage to the snail so I kept shooting at it and to my surprise the snail actually disappeared, but then respawned after a while and got me. Anyway, fun and funny game with great voice acting.

YOU CANNOT KILL ME *terrifying wooden laugh* loved it

zimny11 2022-04-14 10:09

Nice and fun game! I love that you give the player ability to shoot and add immortal enemy XD Nice job with the game!

sacredbacon 2022-04-14 13:01

Love the style, it reminds me of a bowling alley laser-tag arena. Snail was terrifying with that maniacal laugh, immortality, and teleportation. Great design and humor. I like that the moral support gun fired giant ammo and made a synth clap sound. Awesome game!

Fun little game, I enjoyed running around avoiding those snails which seemed to teleport sometimes where I least expect them. The gun doing nothing is a really funny touch and his audio was great but would have thought something less monotone would have worked better. Some funny lines occasionally when you shot the snail would have been a nice addition. The maze worked well but I had a problem where in level 9 I spawned and basically got trapped almost immediately as the snail was around the corner. Besides that one thing I noticed the game was great.
