thanks for playing and a long comment!:0, i have a newer version of the game but there are more bugs so i didnt upload it, i kinda dont know how to make stuff work better and im stuck, sorry :c

sorry for the blank buttons, i didnt know what picture to put as the icons (there is also the rename button and snail's family tree button that are blank)

i wanted the snails to grow over time and also when u play the minigames (the minigames would help u pass time) but i still havent figured out how to do that

i tried to fix the snails being too big for the breeding ui by turning the snail into smaller one when dragging but it probably doesnt workxd

also adding more snails is so complicated cuz i made the code for that so complicated and idk how to simplify it right now (i drew pizza snail and galaxy and gummy snails but they dont exist in the game RIP)

so i went to try to get better at making games by making more of them but i still want to make snail game better in the future

Thanks for your response! I enjoyed the game, and I think it's cool. I am looking at snail games and other possibilities for them, because this is my first time figuring games out. Trying to dissect them and looking at flaws seems uncomfortable, but I just really tried to play your snail game. It is difficult to make games, I really like your art and the snails look a bit like the snails I used to have. Resonated there.

It seems your ideas are bigger and more ambitious than your coding abilities right now. The other snail types sound fun, even if they aren't here. I don't have expectations or pressure on people finishing their prototypes, this one seems complicated to balance. I hope that you find other good game concepts to try, and that you can make fun games. The art is really polished, so I wonder if you'll find mechanics that match that polish. This has inspired me in a way.

28.07,2026 I am learning game engines and writing some stories about a snail gal character, chatting with a university game dev club. At this rate I won't have much to show for a long time, but I will do it as long as it takes.
:-)

Here are some more comments. I like your effort and progress! Excited to see the new artwork. Started a new game. I voted for the Continue Jam 10 too.

Snails are very cool, and your game feels more clear to play. Artwork is better, there are three types it seems. It doesn't seem like there is a way to load progress once the page is reload, which is sad when past snails are gone.

The minigames are more polished. Memory game has nice animation. Finding snails game seems mostly the same, found the snails and the clovers by clicking around. Puzzle was nice, kinda convenient the right pieces snap into place. The colorful snail puzzle image is cool.

I was was wondering why the eggs would not hatch, but realized that 5 snails was the maximum in the tank. Selling snails make them hatch immediately. New snails to buy coming soon, huh?

By the way, I tried to donate a bit but got an error. "Failed to create PayPal payment (422)". It seems this is some issue on the developer's end. I couldn't find much information. /t/3756965/paypal-422
