Description

Project SNAIL is a 2D Arcade-style platforming game with an emphasis on classic game-play, brought into the modern era with contemporary design philosophy. It features simple, easy to learn controls, and gains its complexity through varying enemy types and level design. The player controls a Snail who is trapped in a series of levels with different creatures that seem intent on killing it. The Snail has the ability to spit goo at its enemies in response, forcing them to stop moving long enough that they can be destroyed. As the levels progress it becomes more and more clear that the Snail has been placed here, and the entire experience has been the result of a lab experiment. The game is intended to be a simple, narrative light game that appeals to all demographics, but particularly those that remember going to the arcades in the 80's.
