Controls are really not very convenient. Didn't get at the beggining that I have to kill all of the snails. I prefer more pacifist outcome when it's up to such a nice creatures.

I worked backwards starting with the boss so I could be sure the boss fight would feel satisfying.\n\n@plepletier Feedback to the player?  If you mean that he keeps moving after you release a button, it's either lag or a bug I haven't yet experienced, sorry about that!\n\n@n-feofentov I'll keep that in mind next LD, I tried using text boxes this year to make gameplay clear, but it seems I missed a good opportunity to explain how to open a door.  There was actually a text box that said to kill all the snails at the very start but you must have missed it :(  rip them.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Chris Coe","author_uid":"1037263","time":"2017-08-02T04:06:15Z","epoch":1501646775,"modified":1501646775,"text":"It was very difficult to attack sometimes since you always faced right if you weren't moving. Really cool graphics. I'm sad to admit that after SEVERAL tries, I could not bring down the boss. Oh well! Maybe I'll try again later.
