Fantastic game; no complaints. I echo the sentiments of everyone else who has posted. One thing that I would like to see added is a way to kill enemy snails with one strategic attack. In worms it was a well-timed prod into the water. It added a complex strategic element and was very, very satisfying to kill and enemy in one move. Perhaps in snails you could add some levels with lava at the bottom (since the snails aren't afraid of water, and even fight there sometimes!) Or, you could do something as simple as making a snail die instantly if it is knocked off the map. This change would allow for some excellent new strategies and challenges in the game.
I guess what it is I really miss from worms was the ability to get 4 or 5 kills in a single move with chain reactions, explosions that trigger mines or gas canisters, and a worm or two drowning in the process. In snails I am very lucky if I can even kill 2 snails on one move. Plus I think the only weapon that can completely kill an enemy in one blow is the napalm (though I haven't seen all the weapons yet).
Again, though, great game. I am so glad I bought it and so grateful for the Jornada 525 support.
