This is a really good game! The visuals of the game were just top-notch and the gameplay was incredibly engaging. Awesome work!

Wow this game is awesome, it has a lot of charm! I love snails omg rip. Super fun gameplay, attractive artwork, and great presentation! :D

This is a 10/10 for me.

The animations and effects are so crisp and the explosions and bullets are very satisfying. The theme applies really well to the game and it's really fun to play! Thank you for this game. I would not hesitate to buy a released version with more content. 

Fun game!


The presentation of this game is definitely the best part, there is a lot of juice, but it's not super overdone, apart from the screenshake, which could definitely be toned down a few notches. The art was nice and creative, and I liked the glowy bits, also, the gif of the shotgun spinning is very I'd also like to point out that the game was stuck at a singular resolution with no scaling at all, to me it was just an inconvenience, but to somebody with a 4k or even 8k display, this could make the game borderline unplayable. Last thing I'd like to point out, is that the title is clever and cute.
The gameplay is actually really solid, just taking the shooting mechanics and the movement controller and plopping them into basically any other scenario would work really nicely [especially if you had to use the blanks' knockback to cross gaps or something]. As stated in others' comments, the biggest drawback of this game's gameplay is definitely the lack of variety, especially on the map front, as it gets boring pretty quickly, I ended up just running into the enemies at around 30 or 40 kills because I was getting bored. I wish there was a way to reload manually once you were at one shot, as it was a bit annoying to waste time firing a blank just to have a chance at a better shell.

Generally, I really enjoyed this game, even if I did have to end it myself, I feel like you could really just grab the mechanics of this game, create a few levels and make some enemy placements instead of a spawner and it would be like twice as good as it is now. Thanks for making this, and good luck in the jam!

Should have put more effort into the map, a big flat square gets boring quite fast. Sound in general was nice, the shooting was quite nice, but just running from enemies and shooting at them seems to be the best strategy which could be easily solved by just having a couple of walls or boxes. nice

Submitted

quite fun and juicy.  Would have been cool to have different sound effects for the different weapons, but otherwise very nice presentation.

Amazing juice and idea. My imagination is running with ideas on this game + deckbuilding/roguelike mechanics. Would love to see more lol. My only complaint at this point is that the red snail is kinda OP with his offscreen hits and at the beginning enemies take awhile to spawn. i played till 54 kills and then stopped.

Submitted

I liked it. A very satisfying little shoot game. Juicy and reactive. Good game.

Submitted

Very engaging gameplay. I also hate snails, so it was lots of fun to blast 125 of them! Could use more variety (maybe some obstacles on the map) and a more solid connection to the theme, but still very well executed.

Submitted

This game is insanely juicy lol. Great work!

We need more snails with rocket launchers!

Submitted

This game is too fun.
I wouldve liked the thing that shows what ammo you have to be closer to the center of the screen so i dont have to keep looking there.

Other than that, 10/10.

Submitted

I got 23 snails! Fun game, fun graphics :) We also use the concept of a dice deciding your ability in our game, so it was cool to see how you worked with this!

Submitted

It is really dynamic and enjoyable. The amount of polish shows. The music is just awesome, as well as the feel of the shots. The pun with the slugs is a bonus point.

Submitted

Good game.I like it.

Submitted

Wow! Absolutely love this visuals and animations. It's really fast and fun. One of my favourite so far!

Wow! That's an amazing game well done! Even my partner looked over and said "that looks fun". Controls are tight, I love how every shell is useful, even the blanks. The sound, music and effects are really engaging. It also felt like the kind of game you could invest a fair amount of time in to get better at, especially strategising around shells.

If you have time, I'd love it if you could have a look at my game too. ❤

Hahaha. Slugs with slugs. 

This controls and looks really nice. The shotgun shots are really satisfying. However, the camera swing and shake is a bit too much for me. 

Straightforward premise and use of the theme. However, with the exception of the blank, all the bullets felt pretty same-y. I didn't feel like I had many decisions to make, especially because it didn't look like I could choose which slug I fired first. I ended up just firing and understanding there'd be a 1 in 6 chance to go flying backwards instead of shoot. The rest of the bullet effects I ended up not caring how I used them, only that I had to use them. 

Still beautiful art. And you completed and submitted in just 48 hours! These short ones kill me. It's quite an achievement. Good job :)

Genuinely really fun game!! Really creative concept and even some of the weapons I wouldn't have thought to have put in myself. The art is stellar and the game feels amazing. Five stars all around!!!
