Epic Snails is a chaotic online multiplayer game that features epic snail battles.

It’s being created by the same devs that made Club Penguin and Battle Bears.

You play as a customized snail and you’re thrown into the battlegrounds. Think Worms 3D or something like that. You need to battle for control over the backyard against enemy snails!

The game has you roaming around (slowly) as a snail with a cannon attached to it in some way. You can customize the look of your snail to have your weapons attached to your shell, body, or whatever else. it also gives you the choice to choose varying colors and such to design your custom snail.

But the customization is only a small part of the game. The battles are where the chaos begins!

You need to roam around the garden and look for enemy snails. When you find one, you fire your tank-mounted snail shell at them in hopes of a hit. Projectiles have travel time so you need to time your shots especially if you’re shooting from across the map. There’s also some degree of bullet drop as well.

But you need to know about the best part of Epic Snail first before we get into this preview…

It’s the ability to climb anything.

That’s right. You can literally climb anything you see, move anywhere in the garden, and even hang upside down like a normal snail would. It’s hard playing the game with your view inverted, but it also makes you that much more stealthy as you battle for garden control!

The game features team battles of 3v3 with the team scoring the most kills to be the conquerors of the garden. The battles are pretty hectic when you have all 6 players battling it out. You’ll have close-up fights, distant fights, and even sniper shots that come out of nowhere. The game features strategic online multiplayer gameplay that’s just nonstop action.

It’s a third-person perspective shooter with a crosshair, just to get that out of the way.

The graphics are appealing and very colorful. It looks like a cartoon with near cel-shaded graphics. Everything is humorously detailed in the environment. You’ll see some common backyard garden items like a patio table, umbrella, chairs, walls, sandboxes and more. You’ll even see some not-so-common items as well. Everything can be used to take cover behind and as a strategic advantage. And again, you can use it all to your advantage by climbing on them and hanging upside-down as well.

Epic Snail also has some community features outside of the battlegrounds. There’s a chat room where you can literally chat with other snails Habbo Hotel style. And there’s the vanity section to customize your snail’s appearance.

Overall, Epic Snail is a very addicting and fun game to play. It’s not to be taken seriously, but the online battles are just so tempting and easy to get immersed in. This game is a serious contender.

Similar to NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings, Stellar Codex is another game that’s very similar to Star Fox.

It’s a 2D/3D shooter with an arcade touch- mixed with on-rails combat. It’s like Star Fox in many ways. You could see Stellar Codex as a very inspired game by Star Fox, but then again, there are no annoying squadmates buzzing around bugging you for help or pestering you with things you already know. You fly solo.

Your character is dubbed Jack Knight. You’re the leader of the Elite SABER Squadron. You discover aliens on that stem from the Stellar Codex. You need to lead your squadmates over there (but take on missions solo, since you’re badass like that) and battle species in a variety of hazardous environments like asteroids, spaceships, debris, and even stars.

The game is moderately paced with arcade-style graphics that are just mesmerizing. The camera is mainly in third-person, with an occasional top-down view like an arcade space shooter. You’re on rains for most of the game in a hectic battlefield with twists here and there. The top-down sections are fun and there are side-scrolling sections too. While the Stellar Codex offers a nice rounded style of gameplay, it is pretty much said that the 3D parts are the best. I mean, you’re gunning through space blasting enemies with multiple weapons and dodging obstacles in a fast-paced shooter. What’s more to say? Just play it already and see it for yourself.

Your target can be aimed independently of your ship as well. You have free aim.

Even in alpha, the game looks very polished and has very few issues. It’s a blast to play. The only problems that I can point out are that the game can be too difficult at a few chokepoints. If you like Star Fox, you’ll need to play this game.

Check it out below and grab the download. It’s awesome.

Catch the train. Kill the bad guys. Grab the cash!

Guns ‘n’ Stallions is a quick game with retro graphics. The menus, transitions, and music are all awesome and very well done.

There’s a train robbery in place and you need to board a train and shoot down baddies and take the money back.

It’s a side-scroller with pixel graphics. It’s a 2.5D third-person run and gunner. It’s a blast.

Ride horses. Shoot down baddies. Get pickups. Use crates for cover. It’s a blast from the past. The visuals, music, and sound effects all come together to make Guns ‘n’ Stallions a winner. Be sure to collect moonshine for HP and use your horse to catch up to the train. You also have to reload as well, so keep an eye on your ammo. You use RMB to aim and LMB to shoot. WASD moves your character. R is reload. Space is jump. The controls are easy enough.

If you like retro shooters or arcade shooters, you’ll like this game. It’s currently in “pre-alpha” so it’s just in the beginning works.

It was built for CGA Jam and it’s an awesome entry.
