As already mentioned
Betting on a cookies race >> Betting on a snails race (jk lol, I was just surprised when I found out there was another game based on betting on a race but a snail race in the works xD)

But MAN is this a cool game, Especially the visuals! (Also I noticed the normal map lighting hiding in plain sight ) Like there are SOO many designs and types of snails.
But I kinda felt like that was all, like they all looked different (atleast their shells) but they didnt bring alot to the game, their sheer quantity kinda made them forgettable (Not saying they were bad at all tho, they really looked amazing! Especially the goofy ones lmao like that one snail with a person on its back farting T-T)
Though this isnt really a negative point as its clear that making all of them memorable wasnt the point/objective of the game.

Speaking of gameplay (not the other games stuff for now, just this game). Its fun at first but if you dont play other games while racing it can definitely get repetitive. Although the power up mechanic with feeding them cookies was a very welcome change!

Coming to the "Special" mechanic.. just wow xD
The funniest thing to me was that you can play snail racing INSIDE snail racing xD and play another game inside THAT snail racing.. That was just epic lmfao

Also i do wish  this had some music, I think lack of it also contributed  to the races feeling a bit bland
But I think i do get why it is so, I mean having music from 2 games together would be a real mess, but maybe you couldve muted this games music when another game was on screen (maybe?)

Overall I still think this was a really great game, especially on the game inside a game part. But even taking that aside, the art and visuals were also really cool

You guys did a really great job with this one! :D

we had issues with muting Iframes and opted out of bg music since we didn’t have time to debug the music of ours and the games within games.

Thanks for playing yeah snailception is pretty fun. If you needed more money you could go in and do snail game in snail game and play those games haha

Snail game, in snail game, in snail game is a pretty meta way to get multiple gambles going at once whilst earning passive money :P XD XD.

The way it works is by interacting with an extra bit of html we injected into the build. Godot has a js bridge that works bidirectional and I caught the events on the HTML end of it. 

The games in games part was possible by embedding the iframes of other community members into that bit of HTML.

Sadly, because of browser policies & cross origin magic I'm not going to go indepth in- we can not mute / unmute the entries made by others. So it could be a bit jarring if 2 bgm's played at once.

In hindsight we could have just muted our own bgm if you had the phone open, but ohwell- maybe later. :D 

Thanks for playing and providing feedback.

But still, it is soo surreal to play a whole ass game INSIDE this one and having it not just as a side gimmick but also integrated with the game and its mechanics, hats off to you for pulling that off lmao.

Actually I did hear about this when you were doing it but my game was not ready at all by then (tbh I had to use the extra 48 hrs to fix ALOT of bugs xD). But I didnt know it was gonna be a jam entry too xD 

Ngl Id have loved to have my game playable inside it aswell, but oh well, too late now with the uploads locked

But I still think it was better to have atleast some music while playing even if it was other's games. Cuz if they were muted it would be awfully quiet imo (Especially in games where the audio feedback was more prominent). So it IS a win win ig

Again tho, great job you guys!
