Snail Mailbox (CJ)

Snail Mailbox is a cozy hand-drawn browser puzzle game about rescuing a scrambled README one careful step at a time. Help Snail and a small woodland team sort out setup steps, choose the clearest project description, and guide a useful example into the right order so a newcomer can understand the project again.

Description

Something is wrong with the woodland mailbox, and the README has become a mess.  

In Snail Mailbox, you help a gentle little courier rescue three documentation routes by solving small logic-and-language puzzles, choosing the right helpers, and putting each step where it belongs.

Each level focuses on a different kind of documentation skill:

• ordering setup steps.
• choosing the clearest project description.
• arranging a README example so it makes sense to a newcomer.

Along the way, Beaver, Ants, Owl, and Fox offer commentary, hints, and a little personality. The result is a short, cozy game about clarity, sequencing, and making projects friendlier to read.

Features

• Three handmade puzzle levels.
• Sorting and choice-based gameplay.
• Friendly animal helpers with different strengths.
• Hint system.
• Undo for sorting puzzles.
• Replayable rescued levels.
• Cozy woodland art style.
• Browser-friendly HTML5 build.
• Save progress in your browser.

Controls

What to expect

This is a short, polished jam game rather than a long campaign. It is meant to be warm, readable, and approachable, with simple interactions and a small amount of replay value. If you enjoy gentle puzzle games, cozy browser games, or playful takes on documentation and teamwork, this one is for you.
