How it feels

A whimsical, low-stakes game where the only rule is to avoid touching a snail, creating a gentle, playful tension.

What players say

Players love the tension of evading a persistent snail that runs as a background app, but death is permanent and ends the run for good. Some report the snail speeds up over time, and multi-monitor setups can cause cheap deaths.
