Hey everyone, Hope you've been enjoying the colorful chaos in Turf Wars: A Snail Escape! I come with some good news – five new upgrades have sprouted in the garden, ready to take your snail adventures to the next level. 💥 Damage Explosion When you take a hit, at least make it count! With Damage Explosion, create massive friendly explosions whenever you take damage 🎨 Start Turf Claim your territory from the get-go! Start with more yellow area already claimed when entering a new zone. 🌈 Converting Splatana Why pop bullets when you can claim them? Converting Splatana changes bullets into your color instead of popping them 💨 Smokey Bullets Popped bullets leave a smelly gas that hurts enemies and converts enemy bullets. Can be added to the Slime Gun, Jellyblaster & Goo Cannon 👅Bad Breath Doesn't sound that good, I know! Your Frog Tongue leaves a nasty smell whenever you use it, which da…
- New Boss Has Arrived - 11 December 2023
Hey Snail Squad, Hold onto your shells because a new era has dawned in the garden – Mecha-Queen has arrived! 🤖👑 Armed with a laser sword on her left hook and the ability to shoot laser beams from her right, she's here to bring a whole new level of electrifying chaos to the garden! Meet Mecha-Queen 🔵 Laser Sword: Watch out for her swift strikes with a laser sword attached to her left hook. 🔴 Laser Beams: Dodge the laser beams she unleashes from her right hook – precision is key! ⚡ Electric Minions: She's not alone! Mecha-Queen can launch electric minions that create laser beams from their antennae, adding a layer of strategic madness to the battlefield. Hunt for Mecha-Queen Finding Mecha-Queen is not as hard as you think, so I thought I could explain how it works. Bosses spawn randomly once you've conquered the main area boss. But to keep it more fun with added bosses, a lower weight…

- May 2023 Update - 31 May 2023
New trailer is out, which I spent way to much time working on. What do you think? I have also done lots of playtesting and some nice improvements to the game to prepare for the upcoming Steam Next Fest, which is the next big milestone I'm aiming for. I have also spent a lot of time with accessibility options since I want everyone to be able to play the game the way they want to. If you want you can check out the release notes below: Demo Release notes Added 4 difficulty settings (easy, normal and 2 harder modes that unlock if finishing the game on previous difficulty). The different difficulties change player health, number of enemies per level and boss health. Holding fire buttons will fire weapon when reloaded (to avoid having to spam buttons) Autofire accessibility option - Makes your primary always fire when reloaded without player input required Possible to skip the gem box opening…
- April 2023 Update - 2 May 2023
Main update of this month is that I just released a new, big update for the demo. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Those familiar with the previous version will hopefully see some nice upgrades. What's new? New upgrade choices Before you were presented with 3 options. Reward 1, Reward 2 or a Random Reward. I felt like something was missing, and the random reward felt… unpredictable and not really fun. I changed that so that now you will instead get 3 reward options right away. If you like none of them, you can instead get 50 coins to save for another time. If you already have some coins, you can spend 25 coins to reroll your 3 rewards to something else. The goal is to make the choices you make a bit more informed, while still allowing some influence of luck if you want to risk it. Let me know if you like the new version or the old one best. New gem boxes Before you go…
- March 2023 Update - 26 March 2023
Bad news: I’ve been on vacation and made slower than normal progress this month. Good news: The game is almost finished. So where are we at with it and when can you play the full thing? What is done? The last boss, Princess Polka Dot, is done. A karate chopping lady bug high up in the treetops. Think she might be my most challenging but also favorite boss so far. What do you think of the name? Any other ideas? End credit scene: I wanted it to be satisfying for those of you who manage to reach the end so I have spent some time making a fun little cutscene for you all. I like it, so I hope you will too. Treetops content: I have been adding content in the form of fun rooms and more enemy types. Think this area is shaping up Bugs: I am playtasting like crazy and am still finding stuff, doing my best to fix it all before the launch. What is not done? Before launch I have a couple of areas an…
- February 2023 Update - 20 February 2023
Hey! Since the last update I have been working hard polishing and refining the game to make everything that happen after escaping the lawn much better. But since you won't be able to see that in the demo (yet), here comes a list of the improvements you CAN see: New Weapons I will admit, I might have started to go a bit crazy Freeze Ray - Lock slime in place so no scary bug can try to claim it later on. Frozen slime is forever yours. Great to combine with other weapons Machine Slime - Shoot three bullets in rapid succession to scare away even the bravest of bugs Splatterang - Throw a splatterang out in the wild and wait for it to return to you. Hard to master, but really powerful if you manage to reposition yourself fast Flying Star - To be honest, I don't know what the hell this is, I just had lots of fun with it after accidentally creating it Other Upgrades - Be able to have multiple p…

Hey! Since releasing the demo I've gotten some great feedback from so many of you, and I have really been enjoying watching you spreading your turfs. I've gotten a much better sense of what works and in which areas the game can be improved. And I have been working hard making the game a lot better. So here is the release notes for the latest version of the demo: Balancing changes Main goal is to make the gameplay a bit faster and rewarding aggressive play-styles more Upped the aggression of many enemies by having them fly towards the player and attack Reduced cooldown of all primary weapons Increased the bullet speed of all shooting abilities and increased length of Frog Tongue and Splat Blade Reduced prize of in-run upgrades and unlocking of new starting weapons to allow for more experimentation Reduced speed boost effect of green slime (to not having your snail go complexity insane co…
