Snail Garbaggio by Gossian

[raw]
made by Gossian for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

The fastest snail in the world travels 13cm every 10 seconds. Not you though, you're much slower. Luckily you're surrounded by nice nutritional garbage. Eat it up all before it gets too much even for your snail belly.

(There is currently only a lose condition for when you haven't eaten enough garbage. No win condition yet, but working on it!)


WASD or Arrow keys to move.

Move to the garbage to eat it and clear the screen.

Cute look, but could use a challenge for the player, like the food maybe being swept across the screen or even despawning after a while, or becoming rotten, so the player needs to try and get it as quickly as they can.

Cute game with unique art! I would have loved some UI elements to keep track of scores or some indication of progress int he game but other than that it's a nice entry

I realy cute game and the music is kind of funny. After two or three minutes the garbage stoped spaning so the game was over for me.
Your game is simple, but I liked it.

Very pleasant little snail game, would have been nice to have an end state. But I liked living the life of a garbage eating snail for a short while

Very cute game! I love the music and sounds. The level stopped spawning after a bit, not sure if that's a bug! Overall though great work!

Incredibly simple game, too much for its own good. effectively "move and grab" simulator, the game itself is not fun in the slightest. the snail (although it is a snail) feels incredibly bad and slow to control, and is not fun to play.

However, the art is where most of the time clearly went. this game looks really good, with the simplistic but incredibly appealing art. Would've loved if it was a a time based game where eating would increase your max time instead of its current state.

I really like the music. Fits the game very well. The game itself is very simple and at some point just stops but still nicely done. Would be nice to have a goal in the game. Right now you just eat whatever shows up.
Still good entry. Good job.
