I can't find the game, apparently you only made it for MacOS

Good concept and cute art, nice entry :)

Love the art and music (please make sure to raise that volume). A bit buggy, but I got to play it~ :3 still fun~

Ok so. I got to the play screen, and no snail, just some abilities, and what looks like smoke coming out of the ground. I hit escape to leave the game and it would not let me out, had to use close window.

I'm sure everything is great but I could not play the game, or escape and leave.

@beebster-games please put the abilities in the "?" circles :D

Cool concept, I was thinking there was no reason to do anything other than the rolling ability until I got to the second level, but when I stuck with the crawling ability, the snail went upside down underneath the level and got stuck. Couldn't reset the level or quit out unfortunately? Graphics look really good though, animated snail and background during the intro was very surprising, nice work!

@durkagames Okay, I DLed it again and played it again. It is very very good, I changed my scoring for you. You should make more of the puzzles. Thnaks

@beebster-games thank you!

beebster-games 2023-05-04 18:07

@durkagames You bet bro...

Great graphics and an interesting mechanic idea. I'd like to see it expanded beyond 3 levels, but you take what you can get in a game jam :)

Very nice game. I found it a bit easy but I guess this could work very well for a younger audience.

I had sometimes problems opening the ability menu where I would just randomly grab one of the abilities in the upper row instead of opening the menu. I also found the intro text quite slow. Maybe make it possible to skip to the next text line instead of skipping the whole dialog. But I understand that this is not priority in the Jam.

Ah man I wish there were more levels. Starting to get the hang of things by level 3. Lovely art and vibes, took a little experimentation to figure out what I was supposed to be doing but after that point the gameplay is quite elegant.

I love the art and the idea, it's a very funny concept and it makes me want to see more. The ambiance with music is relaxing and appropriate.

Very cute intro and concept, relaxing gameplay, but would have liked to see some more mechanical depth! Great job though :D

I really enjoy the art (the big snail sprites are so cute) and the mechanics are nice and simple to understand. I think a great puzzle game could be made out of this, and it feels like it could work well on a touch screen.

I know you can skip it, but I found the intro really long and I think you could shorten it. Speed up the text, maybe edit down the exposition, and get to the tutorial quicker. It was really polished, but the intro took longer than the entire game, so shortening it might improve the experience!

Liked the mechanics and the logics, cute little puzzle game that lacks fun sfx, but very involving and charming. Lots of lore in the start, really asking to be skipped, maybe could be put within the levels' narrative. Overall, great, thanks!

The animations are really cool. Would have been cool to have some more levels :) Good job!

larsievl 2023-05-07 19:28

Really good graphics and fun puzzles although a little short. made me very nostalgic for bob the snail

Very simple yet interesting and fun game mechanic! Great job on the execution, art and all
