About This Game
XBOX Controller Support Discontinued
Due to unsatisfactory results in terms of both configuration and responsiveness, which has lead to numerous customer complaints about controllability, I've ultimately decided discontinue XBOX controller support altogether, as I have been unable to remedy these issues to a satisfactory outcome.
Only keyboard control is available from now on.
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
About the Game
"SNAILS" is a retro-themed 3-D brawler, designed to emulate the characteristics and feel of a late-1990's era PlayStation 1 game.Consider these distinctively "retro" features
- low-resolution display (320x240)
- warped, pixelated, and unfiltered textures
- absurdly low-polygon counts
- short draw distances
- crude, pre-rendered cinematic cut-scenes
- ….and "glorious" tank controls
Assuming the role of 7-year old Dora Ditze, you have spent the lion's share of the afternoon recovering from an overnight case of the flu, only to find your neighborhood overrun by a malevolent horde of giant mutant slugs from outer space. With no recourse at your disposal other than instinctive reflexes stemming from an overpowering urge for survival, you must battle your way through seven levels of monster-infested mayhem, hopefully without becoming lunch along the way.

Heavily inspired by such classic PSX-era beat'em ups as "Nightmare Creatures" and "Fighting Force", "SNAILS" features unrelenting combat against oversized monstrosities that harbor little incentive other than making you their next meal.
Do you have what it takes to withstand the ravaging plague of evil denizens infesting your neighborhood? But, more importantly, do you have what it takes to relive the 90's, all over again?
Play and find out!

Is it an exhaggeration on 32bit? Of course. Does it control wonky? Sure. Is it rad? Hell yeah it is. I really enjoyed my time. Just expect this to be a "take" on what the 32bit era was like, not gospel. Review/gameplay/walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGJM7fRWNgI
Snails is a good game. With all its low res, non-strafable controls, wonky camera, and clipping, it sure authenticaaly re-creates the days of the old Playstation 1. Those who are having trouble with the fight mechanics, consult the control page. Once you get to know them, you'll have an ass kicking good time. There's more to be said about this particular game. Development Teams can have a various number of members working on one project. Number of members in creating the art, mechanics, cutscenes and music for Snails (actually, also everything else at Tadpole Interactive): ONE! Jesse Hamm all by himself! Seriously, how often is that achieved!? There's also something to be said about novelty in character. It can be ridiculously distracting seeing a seven year old girl fight with the prowess of a martial arts master. But Dora's childlike vulnerabilities surface when we hear her cries of pain upon getting hit. This could potetntially get under one's skin in the similar vein as Playdead...
The controls felt clunky and the camera angle is quite shifty, also shouldn't there supposed to be a tutorial session to familiarize with the controls. Also there are times that the buttons I pushed won't respond
