Being the snail took a little getting used to, but I was flying off walls left and right by the end of it.  The ways you used to subtly introduce movement options were clever.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I found myself wishing there was some background music.  I think it would have really improved the mood of the game.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm happy I made it to the end.
