Snail<em>Away</em>Beauty_Shot.png

A game about a Snail Sailing home.

Goal

Guide mr snail to dry land. Try to avoid rocks and catch presents.

Controls

  • WASD to move

The game is incredibly broken because we tried to implement a very ambitious buoyancy system. We also tried to combine this with a spline based gameplay system. Also we made WebGl build last minute, so the water shader broke.

But at least we had fun :sweat_smile:

Moving the camera with the mouse (not sure if I was supposed to use the mouse or not and WASD controls need some work. I have never ridden on a leaf before but I think it should be easier to control.

I totally love the character design and colors!

I hope you update and make some adjustments

As you said the game has some bugs. I couldn't move the leaf around and ended up either in the air or below water. The music and the art were nice though.

It is definitely bugged :D, I ended up in mid-air and dead, but it looks really great. Hope for some updates, because the game is promising :D

The art is really nice, but the game seems to be broken

The 2 versions dont works realy well, too bad, it looked cool :'(
On the first one, i was just able to go forward .... on the wrong direction.
On the post version .... the snake shake between 2 positions fast and controls does not so much things, just a little push, but i'm not sure if it's on the right direction.
With good controls it can be fun, you had made a cool music too !

Unfortunately the fixed version is even more buggy than the original. The snake is somewhat influenced by the input but then also moves weirdly in some strange direction sometimes and usually in the opposite direction of what I am pressing.
The graphics however are lovely and the sounds are awesome!
