Snails is a shooting game by PDAmill for the Pocket PC. There was also a version for the Palm, which is now discontinued, and alpha/beta versions for Symbian and Windows PC, which have not been updated in over a year. In the game, you play as a race of snails (Moogums, Lupeez, or Nooginz) planning world conquest (of the planet Schnoogie) in either Missions or Deathmatch modes. In Missions mode, you play levels to unlock new weapons and the final mission. In Deathmatch mode, you simply fight and kill the enemy snails. There are 4 Deathmatch modes, Human vs CPU, CPU vs CPU, Human vs Human, and Human vs Human (network play). The game features many destructive weapons, including teargas, which is deadly because the salt from the snail's tears dry out its body.
This game won the 2004 Pocket PC Magazine award for shooting games.[1]
There have been observations that the game is inspired by, or similar to, the famous Worms series[2][3].
