Super Snail

You’ll escargot wild for this heroic snail’s funny, freaky adventure.

What the shell is going on in the weirdly wonderful Super Snail? Just your typical tale of a time-travelling gastropod who has to slug it out with eight demon gods to save the future! In this one-of-a-kind idle RPG, you’ll explore a bizarre alternate version of South Korea (and beyond), battling an ice princess, a mafia boss and a whole family of dragons. Tinker with your own DNA while you’re at it – because what’s a super snail without sharp fangs, rippling abs and cybernetic eyes?

What we love: The hilarious animations. Whether you’re chasing down a geriatric hitman or meeting a potential love interest named Kim Chi-yum (yes, she adores fermented cabbage), Super Snail is full of outrageously goofy scenes. Plus, your home base has loads of brilliant details, including a steam-powered robot guarding priceless retro junk.

Explore strange lands – and don’t forget to scoop up those tadpoles in your home pond.

Quick tip: Once you get your base’s SnailSoft-powered computer up and running, check out the solitaire and 2048 mini-games. If you can post high scores, you’ll earn valuable goodies such as tadpoles and travel speed-ups.

Meet the creator: QCPlay, the developer behind Gumballs & Dungeons, set out to fill Super Snail with lots of meme-worthy humour and Easter eggs. Tap random objects around your base to reveal pop-culture references – plus valuable items deliberately disguised as rubbish.
