Reviews for "Snailiad"
Stuck?
It seems like a fun game, but it seems you've made it possible to get completely stuck. I've wound up in the area where the green snail says "Watch out, snaily! Without the ice snail power, the next area will be too difficult!" but I can't leave the area to the right of that. I guess I don't have the right power yet. But it shouldn't have been possible to fall into this area if I didn't yet have the ability to get out. Unfortunately I walked over the save point next to the green snail, so I can't find a way to get out of here without completely starting the game over...
auriplane responds:
You do have the ability to get out. Head up and to the right, toward where you fell in, and then head to the right. You can climb the wall, fall off to the left, and make your way up to where you fell through. Continue to the right, and you can make your way to Ice Snail.
If you still can't figure it out, send me a private message and I'll show you what I mean.
Man good job!
Great game, good job on connecting corridors and re-routing areas into past areas where there may be treasures to get. Great effin music bro. I really liked how you made the NPCs say different things as you progress, hardly anyone does that and it must have taken you some time to run around and do that so thank you I liked that a lot! Solid controls and game mechanics.
The only two minor downsides I can even think of to say is after you finish the normal game and you're working with the radar it's perhaps not enough help for me. I mean ok ok maybe I'm just bad but if the radar would give me 'hot' and 'cold' reactions when I get near items that would really help!! Secondly, I found a glitch in one of the bigger rooms in the Fire Area where if you're sliding down the left wall into the tight spot on the ground you cannot move and must wait in the fire to die. These things absolutely do not detract from the game, I had so much fun it's a 10! This is among the best games I've played on Newgrounds.
auriplane responds:
Thank you! I'll try to fix that glitch :-) As far as improving the radar, it's probably a bit late to do that, I'm afraid, but there is a game map available if you get stuck!
i love this gawe
each time you begin to be bored you found a new item/weapon to varie the gameplay
but there is no weapon for spacebox? :( (sorry for my bad english)
auriplane responds:
No... but there's an upgrade for all 3 weapons soon after.
Great game, ruined by an absolutely sadistic boss.
I am fighting the temptation to knock off two more stars very hard because of Stompy. Holy fuck, what were you thinking? If it weren't for that thing, this game would be an absolutely perfect Metroidvania, but as it is...
It may just be me, but that boss simply seems too damn hard, even compared to the final boss.
auriplane responds:
Really? It's interesting how different people find different bosses hard. I've heard the same thing about bosses three and four. I think it must be a matter of strategy. You can see how I fight Stompy in the video in my newspost (skip to 9:40 in the video). One of my testers swears by always aiming downward, so the boomerangs come back up and hit stompy in the eyes. I'm sorry you had a frustrating time with Stompy! Thanks for the review.
