About the Game

Story

One day, Slow hears from a fairy that
“there is a tree that grants wishes.”

Could such a tree really exist?
Half in doubt but wanting to find courage, Slow sets off on a long journey toward that tree.

You control a small snail, climbing a world that stretches from bottom to top through jumps, growth, and item-based abilities, advancing one step at a time.
If you fall, you can tumble all the way back down to lower areas, making every single jump feel tense and precious.

⭐ Key Features

🐌 Slow the Snail’s Journey
A story about a timid little snail mustering up a bit of courage to search for the tree that grants wishes.

🎯 Layered vertical design: jumping, dodging, sneaking, and 3D maze-like paths
Master precise jumps and directional control as you break through various obstacles and keep climbing higher and higher.

🍄 Grow by eating mushrooms
The more mushrooms Slow eats, the more his base stats increase, allowing him to reach higher platforms.

🧺 Collect and use items
Find various items to gain special powers and break through tougher sections.
The higher you climb, the more powerful and interesting items you will encounter.

🐚 Shell-based actions
Hide inside your shell and roll down slopes, or burst out of it—use snail-specific moves to respond to the situation.

🧗 One mistake can send you way back down
A single misstep can send you plummeting to much lower areas, delivering the “climb back up again” style of jump challenge.

  • When you save, only the items attached to the snail are saved;

we recommend challenging yourself to clear the game in a single run if you can.
