Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.
A game about an insecure snail learning about life and home from forest friends.
Some people have had issues in chrome, if you do please try downloading for Win/Mac/Linux or try running the web game in Firefox. -Thanks!

Hey! It's not working for me, stuck on title screen in both the embedded and the web link, in Google Chrome!
A very warm experience! And features snails, which is absolutely amazing ( ;-) ).
It worked in Firefox!
First game on the compo that made me giggle! Sweet sweet ending! Very short, but very cool, gave me ideas to explore a snail RPG mechanic where you carry and decorate your own home. Man awesome, and heart warming! :)
Pressing space to start doesn't do anything in Safari or Chrome so I'm stuck at the title screen.
I had to run it in firefox as well. Love the art for your characters. good work.
A lovely story. This has the makings of the next Gruffalo.
(I could not run in Chrome but it ran in Firefox).
cute ending and awesome graphics! The end location especially looked really good. Congrats!
Does not work for me in Chrome, so am unable to provide a score.
All the rhyming! and such sweet art! It has the look and feel of a children's book. Very sweet. The final animation sequence was just so great.
OMG Super cute! I loved the story and the art was amazing. There was a jaw drop moment when I realized that they had a home all along. Loved the rhyming scheme. This was great! I might go back to this one :)
Great! It's structured just like a children's story, with repetition and evolution in nice balance. If there were voice acting my son would love it!
What a charming game! It definitely warmed my heart. Enjoyed the art style a lot.
Great story telling and art! It's amazing that all of this was made by one person! Stars everywhere!
PS this game made my eyes leaked.
Wonderfal entry. Great art, cute animals, and mad rhymes :)
Great snaily tale! Well written and the graphics are appropriate.
Very charming entry, great storybook feel to the whole thing
Very cute game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/5DzNI6J29PY
I'm a huge sucker for these story games, and this was great. I could see it as a children's picture book or something. The art is really adorable and goes well with the story. I love the rhymes and narrative. Totally went "awwww!" at the end. The sound effects were kind of funny, but they helped serve the purpose of the story.

This really reminded me of a childrens book. Great job with the art and story. The end location looks really good.
It works with Firefox, but tapping space isn't enough : spacebar must be pressed a bit.
The game run smoothly in Chromium. Liked the story. A beatiful short tale for kids.
First of all, maybe I need sorry for my bad english XD
No music? :'( But nice animal voices anyway.
The art is lovely :) Just need some polishment on the pixels but the colors are harmonic.
Lovely story tho :)
Gj!
Charming!
Also I learned something today: a wombat looks more like a tiny bear or ground hog than it does a bat.
Seriously though I played this with my 2 year old and she absolutely loved it so thanks for that.
Great use of the theme-- maybe put some collision detection on the animals?
Nice job on drawing all these in the 48 hours.
Feels like a childs book :)
Nice story ! More than a game, it would do a great book for children !!! Art was pretty nice. :)
Nice art and cute story, it felt like a visual fable, and I believe it could totally work as an interactive book for kids. Great job!
What a charming game! I really liked the graphics and the mood. It's a very nice story game for small children :)
big up for the rhymes!
Beautiful art! And so cute. It's like a digital interactive fairy tale. Nice job!
D'aww
I liked the art and dialogue, very very unique... Some music is what I felt was missing. Well done :D
Love this game -- simple, but a great message and great for all ages -- awesome compo!
