Hello Snails,

It was a busy summer, the team continues to slowly work on Epic Snails. Our primary goal has been to find more players. We decided to go cross-platform a couple months ago and the mobile version is almost ready. In the next couple weeks we plan to update the Steam version to play with the Mobile version.

If you would like to help test Epic Snails on other platforms become a BETA tester! http://rocketsnail.com/beta/

Fellow Snails,

We know you've been looking forward to the next update to Epic Snails and it's finally here. While you won't see many changes on the surface, you will feel them as you play. We have completely re-written the game from the ground up using a whole new server architecture.

We know... you really don't care about how it works 'under the hood', but here's why it matters. This new code improves performance, drastically smooths out movement and firing, and provides for a much more robust and accurate means of squashing hacking attempts. No more invincible snails zipping around at ridiculous speeds.

The best is yet to come. This new system will allow us to create interesting game mechanics that will make Epic Snails even more unique and special. Let us know what you think!

- The Epic Snails Team

Greetings epic fans! Welcome to our first event. The team has been busy working on a number of big updates. First is our new battle map called "SnowForts". This map moves the snails to the ground popping in and out of trenches for the best shot. Second is our "Snowblaster Kit DLC". Ever since 1999 I had wanted to create a multiplayer snowball wargame. Finally 18 years later the Snowblaster has arrived. Epic Snails will remain FREE, our goal is to sell optional kits to pay the team. Thanks for helping us create our little game.
