I really liked the audio mood, it was like an electro synth space zoo vibe. I enjoyed the creeping sense of horror that slowly unfolds as you discover the secret of the circle of life.

Great music, excellent sprites, and the controls feel really smooth. I really liked how the addresses on the envelopes kept changing to keep you engaged.
The theme song should top the Billboard charts! I want to listen on repeat https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WheezyWiseWizards/SnailMail/master/client/res/music/snailys_song_v2.mp3
The lighting was totally mind blowing and made the entire atmosphere very creepy. The film grain and candle light add to the feeling. I could see this being developed into a full game if you added puzzles like Myst. Well done!
Once I got the hang of the controls, it was super fun. I didn't realize what the uppercut was for at first, but it is a great mechanic. When the punched enemies take out the flying balloon enemies, it is extremely whimsical.
Great execution, combining several classic concepts into one game. The controls are very intuitive, I really liked the billiards bouncing effects, and the sprites are top notch.
I got stuck at the same point as @theartifacts and @tasakasama but then I figured it out and my mind was blown. It's a really cool mechanic! Maybe a little more hinting will help. The game was super fun and I made it all the way to the end. The controls are original and intuitive.
Excellent game, played all the way through. Fun to master.
Nice job, the crystals remind me of the undersea Lego sets of my childhood.
@mikoziq The Aquanauts series! Great memories aquanauts.jpg
@wahooney @cocomendes Working on a Windows build! I have been struggling a bit to get Box2d to compile on Windows, but I should hopefully be able to get one *delivered* :)
@wahooney @cocomendes Windows build is ready to go! Shout out to @winter2277 for the help.

Thanks for all the feedback, y'all. I noticed the bug with some boxes colliding when they spawn, but I ran out of time to fix it and I also left it in because I thought it was kind of humorous :)
I struggled to get a package delivered in the short timeout, which was a little frustrating trying to get started. Potentially could develop into something really fun :)
I love how the front wheels are cambered. The steering feels good and you've chosen a really great palette for the neighborhood.
