Today's Best Apps: Snailboy And Lost Echo
Snailboy by Thoopid ($1.99, 189.8 MB): Life as a mollusk may not typically be too action-packed, however, steal their shells and things become exciting enough for a challenging and awkwardly adorable physics-based puzzler. In this case, Snailboy had a prize pack of shells plundered by the stealthy Shadow Gang, and the little gooey fella won't rest until all has been recovered. As you, now the role of Snailboy, head out into the big world, remember the essentials: slide, stick, spring, and Slimeys. Sliding, of course, referring to basic movement or slipping down trees and other objects that you may stick to. While not the common behavior associated with most snails, springing, or jumping, is the core action for the current mission. Last, but certainly not least, Slimeys are life saving green balls of goo collected along the way.
