Arrow keys to move

Shoot as many snails as possible before you die. Good luck.

Made in Pico8, this is the first game jam I've actually had anything to submit to. Where do I even start with all the bugs? I've never finished a project, and this was my first time using Pico8. The game was programmed during 3 lunch breaks, total dev time was ~2.5 hours.

Looking back, I made a lot of silly decisions. The snails don't spawn on the top of the screen because I was concerned about them covering the health and score bar, but I could have just drawn the bar after the snail. Doing that would have prevented me from leaving the spawner in the state it is in now.

Learning how to make shotguy shoot was pretty interesting, and figuring out the hitbox for enemies as well as the player was tricky. I didn't get the players hitbox right yet, but this is good enough.

Until next week,
