Looks very good. Also fun.
Glad you liked it!
Very cool and great art with a fun idea. I had a hard time controlling the dino inside the shell though but was still a very fun game
thanks for playing!
Oh wow this game is unique, and very cute
I am a bit of spastic with the controls but once I figured it out I love the gameplay loop!
thank you for enjoying :D
Fun little game. Very interesting premise.
thank you for playing jcodefox:)
As a pixel art lover, this is one of my favorite game here! I love the idea and control of the head mode here. Its very interesting and the presentation is very great too!
I'm glad you liked the pixel art! Thanks for playing!
thank you!
Super impressive pixel art. It looks like a DS game! Its a little hard to control the snake outside of the shell, I wish it was controlled with the mouse instead of keys.
Thank you! and yeah, I love the DS aesthetic :] For the controls, thanks for the idea! As it is now, it uses tank controls to move the head (A/D or left and right arrows to turn, and you move forward automatically), but using the mouse to aim could be really cool.
I will add a mouse option after the jam, thank you for playing!
I like that there is a puzzle inside the snails thats a very unique trait!

glad you liked that :D
as the level designer I’m glad you enjoyed the puzzles :D
Wowza very creative and the art is beautiful!! Plus the name "Snailiens" hits extra hard for me lol.
thank you so much, Mr. Coolness!
thanks!
Love the art and creativity on display. Awesome job!
thanks so much!
thanks!
Very interesting concept. Fits the theme in a very wacky way. Love the art and sound design! I think something broke because snails stopped appearing on wave 4.
Thx!! yeah, I think maybe it has something to do with clicking to bite the gold slug on the same frame as the automatic zoom in happens. thanks for playing, tho!
sorry about the bug, glad you enjoyed tho!
What a delightfully strange game. I really enjoyed this, very creative and pretty satisfying to get into the shells and eat the snails
glad you enjoyed! Delightfully weird is exactly what I wanted to hear :)
I love the "twist" of your game ;P
Some little tweaks and it can become a full game base on the head mechanic :D
thx!!
wow! Thanks!
What an absolute banger of a game. Amazing visuals and music. Super engaging gameplay and an idea that couldn't think of in my wildest dreams. I foresee your game in marks video and I'm not even kidding.
At one point I encountered a bug tho - I ate a sould, but it did not kill the snailien and I had to restart the game.
Thanks very much! I'm so glad you liked it :D
thank you so much! As the programmer I’m sorry you encountered a bug. Glad you enjoyed tho!
very fun and silly game!
thanks for playing!
thx!
Art and design on point ! I'm curious of how you did the backtracking effect
thanks!
The neck is a Godot line2d made our of points with a repeating texture. To make the backtracking effect I delete the topmost point and snap the player to its position
I also spawn rigidbody2ds every couple of points that I link to a points position, that way if you push your own neck it reacts accordingly
Thanks for explaining!
np :)
Really cool game! I loved the art, and the concept is so bizarre, but amazing! I did encounter a bug where the alien disappeared from the first red slug shell, and I couldn't continue. Besides that, the game was great!
Sorry you encountered a bug... We tried to make the pacing fast so players could see as much as possible, so I'm glad you still got to play! Would love a rate :D
I really loved the concept of an ever growing neck making its way inside mazes. The graphics and effects are on point!
Thank you!
I also love the graphics, ccahallantow really peaked for this game!
thanks!!
Incredible! I love the neck dino when you go back to the ship, so satisfying!
Same! Thanks for playing!
Really awesome
❤️
