Explore Snaily World, collect new abilities and weapons, discover secret passages, and save the snails!


CONTROLS - customizable
=========================
Arrow keys to move
Z to jump
X to shoot a weapon
C to shoot a weapon (and hold still)
M for map (you can use TAB, but it won't work in IE)
ESC or P for the menu (pause)


ABOUT THE GAME
=========================
Snailiad is an 8-bit-inspired game, which uses the NES palette most of the time, and uses NES music I wrote using Famitracker. I hope you enjoy it! :-) There's some references to eight-bit classics that helped inspire Snailiad, and you might also find a cameo or two from RPG Shooter: Starwish, if you play long enough.


Big thanks to:


AdamAtomic, for Flixel!
xdanond, for drawing some stuff!

jsr, for Famitracker!


ABOUT SAVE DATA
=========================
Starting with Flash Player 10.3, Flash save data gets DELETED if you clear cookies or browser history. If you're having trouble with saves, this list might help:
1. Don't clear your cookies or history
2. Make sure the Flash Storage Settings say "Unlimited"
3. Make sure "private browsing" is OFF
4. Make sure "clear browser history on exit" is OFF
5. Make sure "block sites from setting any data" is OFF (for Chrome users)
6. Don't run a program that deletes stuff, like CCleaner or Better Privacy


FINDING 100% ITEMS
=========================
Once you defeat the final boss, you unlock the "radar"! The radar tells you how many items are left in the current area.


HIDDEN MODE
=========================
There's a hidden mode in Snailiad! Once you've unlocked it, it will be one of the choices in "NEW GAME", below EASY and NORMAL.


TROUBLESHOOTING
=========================
If you set your browser zoom below 100%, the bottom and right sides of the game will get cut off. Please make sure your zoom is at least 100%!

I finally found this game again after having faint memories of it from 13 years ago

I love the game so much. I played it to completion back in 2023, but now when I try to play it, it doesn't work. It keeps freezing after the beginning cutscene, just showing a blue screen. Still love the game tho

this is so cute, bless the frontpage suggestion

I wish medals didn't keep bugging out so my progress could be shown to others.

glad I only got halfway through the game otherwise I'd be more torn up about me resetting.

fun overall

edit: beat it in under 30 minutes. medal didn't unlock. I'm not doing that again.

Thanks auriplane for making this wholesome game, i loved it back in 2011 and i love it now ❤️
