How it feels

An idle desktop game where you work while watching for a snail that hunts your cursor, creating a low-key but persistent tension.

What players say

Players describe it as a desktop bullet hell where a snail attacks randomly and dying means restarting fully. Many expected a passive companion but got an active game they cannot pause. Opinions are split on whether the challenge is fun or frustrating.
