Time Cube: Switch your weapon to Boomerang before the fight. Boomerang is not only capable of going through the small spaces, but also deal high damage against large bosses due to its rapid hit damage during travel and return trips. Boomerang will not only destroy the cloned blocks in no time, but also rip through the boss' HP so quickly from the inside of the stone shield that it won't even be able to attack the player in its blue phase. Also, use gravity for vertical movement only. DO NOT ever use the side walls. (Note: Using Boomerangs will allow you to defeat the boss about 3 times much faster.)
Sun Snail: This is the hardest of all. Switch back to Rainbow Wave. Refrain from using gravity change. You'll have to move around frequently, since the boss tends to teleport ONTO you occasionally. Your weapon spamming will usually block the boss' wave attacks, so mostly watch out for his triple color shot that homes on you.

Boss Rush guide 2: U can do like the guide from Viuna, but i found that to make it easier, don't just use rainbow wave. Use many weapon with destruction.
1st boss: When doughnuts get to group, some narrow space would be fit if u use pea shooter.
2nd boss: Use huge rainbow waves to increase damage rate.
3rd boss: Boomerang are super good on this boss. As u move, Boommerang will fly to various way, the boss will lost live faster.
4th boss: Use the pea shooter. As we have solo weapon, it's huge black waves would just lost a SINGLE PEA! You can beat him while solo weapon.
5th boss: Yeah this one is hard so just use rainbow wave. Pea won't help anything.
Thumbs up this so everyone can see it.

with the final boss a better tactic when sleeping is to just hide in your shell. Your shield protects you from the Zs

Very well made game. The music was amazingly fantastic and the graphics are simple, which gave it a retro feeling. The secrets are well-hidden and rewarding. The difficulty curve was pitch-perfect and the unlockable challenges are worth the play. 5/5.

Thenextneo42, perhaps actually look at the customizable key controls first? for WASD users, jump/strafe/fire keys are HJK. And worth also mentioning that Instructions mention only the arrow keys/ZX for control, although both styles are enabled.

Amazingly this game fails to lose its replay value despite dozens of plays on my part. The totally optional conversations with the snails are amusing and worth backtracking to see what else they'll say. There's tons of secret stuff to discover (including some stuff you *shouldn't* be able to reach, normally.) The music is amazingly fantastic, and combined with the retro graphics and superb play controls totally immerses oneself in a classic platforming/adventure heaven.

BOSS RUSH STRATAGIES: Super Shellbreaker: Stick to the right wall, and he'll almost never hit you. Just hit him until he dies. Vis Vires: Stay inbetween them and constantly fire upwards. Moving left and right to stay inbetween them while firing upwards will cause you to fire at their weak spots, defeating them easily. Time Cube: Move to the opposite corner from him, then shoot him when he comes down beside you, and repeat. Do the same thing to the additional cubes he sends out. Sun Snail: Counter his wave attack with your own, and gravity jump to avoid his homing missiles. Omega Snail: When he's vunerable, attack him from above or below, depending on if he's on the floor or ceiling, respectively. His pellet spiral is easily dodgeable. When he shell rebounds, dodge by moving left, right, or jumping. Dodge his sleep attack by quickly gravity jumping between the left and right walls. Rate up to keep visible!

GRAVE DIGGER, are you serious? I personally love this game, but what you're saying doesn't make any sense. The rating function is there so that people can rate it according to how much they liked it. If only people who liked a game were allowed to rate it, then all the games on Kong would be rated 5/5 and you wouldn't be able to find the really good ones.

Hey everyone, just my opinion, but Snailiad is a truly amazing gaming experience and i think we should all rate it 5 stars to show our support and help it win the monthly prize! even though it's brand new, this has become one of my favorite games on Kongregate and one way to show how much we appreciate great games like this is to rate it up, favorite it, and show the developers and the online community that we want more like this!

There's no need to have to watch the credits twice. I watched it once when I beat the moon snail. And then again after I found that last pesky helix fragment. I watched the credits twice in a 15 minute time period. smh

Hint:The Srine Of Isis:
In Snail Town notice a hole bottom left in the town?Form the side crawl from the left wall down into the hole(you can't go in if you are straight up)Then the name of the place still should be snail town.Crawl up when at stair like place.Then the name should be ? then requirements:
You need boomerang
You need all of the helix fragments to wake sun snail
There is a helix fragment in the ? place
The Shirne of Isis is located top after you use the boomerang once to open the first pink door.(I mean top is shoot another boomerang top after the first pink door)

Fun game, but boss rush is ridiculous. I spent an hour and a half getting every heart + spiral... I feel like I should be able to use them in boss rush somehow. Credits should also be skippable, I don't need to see every enemy in the game...

I just wanna say, Thank you, Auriplane. Snailiad is an undeniably awesome game. One of my favorites, no doubt. I loved exploring, finding all the Helix Fragments, and all the Snelk Rooms.
Even dying!
When I first played this, I thought: "Gee, this is easy mode?"
I didn't make it very far.
A few months later, I went back and played again. That time, I beat the game (after a few dozen frustrating deaths against Space Box (Even with nine hearts)) .
I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME!!! REALLY WANT SEQUEL! THORGLE BORGLE!
And so ends my long Thank You.
They're just sharing a save file to get the badges without playing. I put the separate "Cheated" score board in to try to keep them from clogging up the score boards with the exact same times over and over. (I don't actually care if they cheat, I just wanted to try to keep the score boards clean...)

How to get to the shrine of isis(Needs Boomerang/Rainbow wave):From the starting point of snaily town,go left,cling to the wall,and go down.In this seceret room(It should have a heart container in the top left corner of it),fire on the bottom right side of it to reveal a passage leading to another seceret room.Climb the stairs to enter the ??? area.Enter the door,you have another door in front of you.Go in it,and collect the helix fragment in the next room.Now go back one room(there should be 3 rooms in the ??? area,go to the middle one) now keep firing up,and move to the right,you should see some explosions.Jump up and you shall find the shrine.

This game is amazing period. The retro music is great combined with its pixel graphics =) Some suggestions for Snailiad 2 (I sure hope you make one) are make achievements or trophies to obtain through out the game. Or have i even like Elephant Quest with the credit map, but add ur own unique twist to it. I'll be looking forward to the sequel =)

this is a picture of the complete map.

Great. The only thing I could suggest is...err....umm...no, I've got nothing. Well, maybe it could get me a snack after a few hours of forgetting to eat while I'm playing. Or it could remind me that I have work that I'm neglecting. This game is absolutely perfect.

I think the wiki was a trick because now its saying they are going to release the game in this month. Sorry but I am getting confused?

Wow...this game is a fractal isn't it...I just found a helix in a enviromental object in a secret room in a secret room in a secret room in a secret room under snail village

could anyone else get to the highest snail house in the village without using the passage you can get to by blasting open the ceiling over the first save point?
