25572, that took me embarrassingly long, but I managed to cut the attacker in half :P Very addictive despite being simple, I liked it.

This was amazing! The simple controls, satisfying player feedback, upgrades, and graphics made this a really enjoyable game. I've got a lot to learn from games like these. Thank you for sharing, well done all!
Honestly this is what I would consider to be a perfect jam game. So much polish and character, I enjoyed the simplification of the survivors like genre; I REALLY enjoyed the mousewheel mechanic. aaaaaaaaand as soon as i got to thinking about that mechanic.... I (respectfully) destroyed that goblin in 9 seconds with a dremel. THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!
Damn, this looks so good! Love the idea and the implementation felt really strong. Nice work all!
I will say i have a mouse wheel that can be 'unlocked' and will just spin for a ridiculously long time, so it did trivialise it slightly on one run :P But that's not your fault. It's just like someone using the TURBO button on a bootleg controller all over again.
This is great and I love the take on the immortal snail! The combo window felt pretty unforgiving, but it made it super satisfying when you got a long combo going. The companions were super cute. I went all in on spittlebugs and was able to get down to 2037!
Absolute Sninema. I loved how the "impending doom" wasn't directed toward the player but toward another entity. Controls were unconventional but also so incredibly creative. I successfully avenged my snail wife with around 7000 points. Visuals and soundtrack were amazing! Great job!
I thought they'd at least make it through the wedding! Very fun. I didn't like the mouse wheel bit so much, but it fit well with the jam and as an jam experiment, I'm totally ok with it. Beautiful art, fun progression system. Would like to see an endless mode or some sort of difficulty scaling so he could run faster and I could get more upgrades >.<
Nice job!
Wow, what a beautiful game. My mouse has hyperscroll which enabled me to beat it in time 10 (with only 19 leaves). On "regular" scroll I got 4257!
I now know how determined the snail would have to be in the ‘you get a million dollars, but you are pursued by a murderous snail forever’, hypothetical, and that is some serious commitment on the part of the snail.
Really enjoyed the changing environments, the art, and sound use throughout.
Loved the animatic cutscene and narrative elements at the start. Fully hooked me, and made me totally on board with whatever snail based war crimes were to follow in the cause of revenge and justice.
Upgrades were fun and unique too.
Great job from all involved!

Had some trouble understanding how to combo at first, but very fun once I figured that out! 10/10 would avenge my snife (snail wife) again
The combo mechanic is super satisfying, the timing is very tight! Cool vibes.
Certainly an original entry, i did find it very difficult to understand the time for combos though
Very cool game, managed to get a nice combo and finish in 92 seconds! Very fun concept, and great implementation. Very solid entry, good job!
This game was a lot of fun. Very addicting. The combo mechanic was pretty challening to get right, but I feel like that's what made it so fun! I also really loved the artwork and music.
