I like the art!  It's cute!

The collection part just seemed like "oh, whoops, you didn't get enough flowers, which you didn't know ahead of time, I guess there's nothing you can do now"… although at some point I started learning what items were popular to ask for a lot of and prioritized those, and things seemed to work out.

Good idea, and a good game! I like how the rounds are so short that it doesn't matter if you fail. Great job!

So ridiculously cute haha. Nice little gameplay loop and great art. I managed 4-5 of each material in a run, which meant if the snail then asked for 6 of a material I just lost. Some sfx for gathering the bits, and for winning or losing at the end would be great too. Overall a solid entry!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback!πŸŒπŸ’• I  would have loved to have included some sound effects. I also wanted to added some sound effects to the leaf doors opening, but didn't have enough time to create all the sounds. If I update the game, I will definitely will add some 😊

Loved this game! So creative and cute! Art style is super cute! Agree with that one comment to maybe first get the order and then collect items <3

Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words πŸŒπŸ’•

Love the idea! I think it's a bit backwards currently as you just grab as much as you can and hope for the snail's order to fit that. Maybe if you got an order, then went to collect parts, then made the shell that would work better?

Love the art style too. Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback! I really appreciate it πŸŒπŸ’•

A short and sweet game! I love the concept! The graphics are super cute I love the chill vibes of the game. I think it would be nice to know what to collect at the start cause it’s a bit sad when I don’t have what I need for the snail (I forgot to collect anything one run, and didn’t have the right materials another run)

I love the overall concept and vibes of the game, very enjoyable. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback! πŸŒ I agree, it would be better if it was a bit easier for players to fulfil the snail requests! I had hoped to add some other features that would have made it possible for players to acquire missing materials, but unfortunately didn't have time to add it πŸ˜” I'm glad you still enjoyed the game regardless though and thanks again for playing ❀️

The world needs more snail games 🐌 It took me around 20 seconds to realize how the collect stage worked, so pretty intuitive. Instantly knew how the placement stage worked. I can't believe how many times I didn't meet all the criteria, I needed to start taking notes so I wouldn't forget all the requested attributes because I would get carried away with arranging items I would forget what I was trying to do πŸ˜³ art and originality is great. music was good too but after playing so many times I did need to mute it, the sound button in the corner was a nice touch. I would have liked to rotate the items (but I understand the limited time for the jam means we don't get to everything we want). A great game for making you want to share your snail with others!

Developer

Yes, I highly agree that the world needs more snail games! 🐌(I look forward to playing your one in a bit πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•) I'm glad that the criteria was slightly challenging, and that you had fun decorating the snails ❀️ Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to make the song longer and more varied,  but I'm glad to hear that you liked the singing snail and that he was useful 🐌

Very sweet little game! Seems like you need to get lucky because there doesn't seem to be that much time, so maybe having the snails be a bit more demanding but showing what they want beforehand would be more interesting. I dig the art style, though, and the creative aspect is pretty fun. Cute entry!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your feedback 😊 I had originally wanted to allow the player the option to forage for more items after meeting the snail, but wasn't able to add it in time. I also ohad some harder snails that wanted 10 spiderwebs, but worried that it made the game way too difficult. I like your suggestion, if I update the game I might try doing it that way instead.

Incredibly charming, cute, fun and whimsical. The art direction and overall feel is so amazing seriously ahhh i love it so much. Would be nice if tere was a full screen option as i couldnt see the whole screen at a time but i know with low time these things get missed and thats fine. Overall, loved it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so so so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it πŸŒπŸ’• Thank you for the feedback! Next time, I'll try to remember to include a full screen mode earlier on in the development process 😊

Its a very cute style!

This was adorable! Greatly enjoyed it! Wish there was something to warn me what materials I might need... or saved materials between runs!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! πŸŒπŸ’• I originally wanted to have the snails give the player buttons as thanks for making their shells which the player could use to buy more materials. I also had wanted the player to have the ability to go back outside to gather more materials if needed. But unfortunately, I didn't have the time to add these features. Saving the materials would have been a good idea!

Super cute!! I played a bunch of times after getting the hang of it. So cool that you made the font and music as well! It really adds to the charm.

Developer

Thank you so much! Next time, I'll try and include an in-game tutorial. I'm glad to hear that the font and music added to the games atmosphere. The original song I made for this game wasn't very good, so I'm glad I took the time to rewrite it to make it more fairy-like 🧚

Really fun game, very cozy indeed. Great job

I really love the art style, gameplay was great too. Making mini houses for snails is really calming. Great game, congrats

This is my favorite art style of any game I've played so far. It's such a fun and whimsical visual and it lends itself to the fae theme!

I wish there was a tutorial so I could have jumped into the game right away, but overall I loved it!

Developer

Wow!! I'm honoured to hear that! Thank you so much ❀️ Next time, I'll definitely try adding an in-game tutorial, but I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the game regardless😊

Charming artstyle, more explanations on what to do would be nice, but fun once figured out!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🧚
