Inspired take on the theme, love the aesthetic, the golden snail intertitle especially! Great entry (and great use of pico8 too). Hope you enjoyed the jam! Very curious how many names you had in the set...

I did enjoy the jam! Thanks for hosting it -- and thanks for your kind words.
To answer your question regarding the name pool:
- There are two sets of names in the game: "surnames" and "given_names".
- There are approximately 400 entries in each set, give or take. (I'll be adding more in a future update, because why not.)
- When snails are made, they have an equal chance of selecting a name from either pool, or having one from each (in a random order).
If you want to see all the possible names, download the .p8 file from the game page and open it in PICO-8. You can use the free Education Edition if you do not have or do not want to purchase PICO-8 (but I highly recommend it -- best $15 USD I ever spent).
