Glad you enjoyed!
I had always had the idea of an asteroids clone where you enter the asteroids to destroy them, and when i heard the theme this immediatly came to mind (small ship, big asteroids)
On our mood board made a list of small and big things and ccallahantow wrote « dinosaurs » in the big things and I wrote « snail » in the small things
I then proposed my idea from earlier, suggesting to replace the asteroids with snails.
Ccallahantow said that you should play as a diplodocus (a dino with a long neck) in the spaceship
And then I had the idea that you used your neck to enter the shells and not the spaceship, and the game emerged from there :D
I came up with the dialogue and ending on the fly the last day
