The music's forgettable, but doesn't get on my nerves, so I can excuse that. Also, it may be my monitor, but some of the levels I've played so far are too dark.

That aside, the art style is simple yet enjoyable, the gameplay is fun, and there's a level editor, so it's fun despite its flaws. The only major thing it's missing is a multiplayer mode. THAT would really make it a long-lasting purchase.

I've found I need to switch between diagonal movement (the default) and isometric movement on occasion, but that's just a matter of pressing F6. (Diagonal movement is most comfortable, isometric movement is much better for not falling off ledges.)

The ability to gain mines which will earn you money even when you ARE re-playing an old level really appeals to my desire for "play it however you want" games and to the thread of "grinding nut" in me. Some kind of stats view showing what levels I haven't completed and how (boxes found, secrets found, etc.) would be nice though.

As far as weapons go, I haven't got many yet, but I love how the shotgun is implemented (an actual spray of weaker shots gives me a distance/accuracy/damage trade-off that I can easily understand and wholeheartedly accept).

I'll adjust my rating as I play through the game but, so far, here are the flaws I've noticed:

1. Press escape to pause, forget, click "Exit". It won't ask if you really want to lose unsaved progress.

2. English is the author's second language and it shows in the use of "propeller" rather than "propellant" in the weapon upgrade dialog.

Like I said, fun but it has a few flaws to fix. A solid 7.8 out of 10.

I found this game to be very fun and weird (in a good way). It gives a very good gameplay with simple controls. It almost felt like a Doom game with the way the atmosphere was which I absolutely loved. I believe some polishing needs done with the world collision since you can get stuck sometimes against the walls but besides that. Well worth the purchase and support it gives to the dev. Great Job

Isometric Doom. 'Nuff said.

Great exploration/shooter game. I love that it incorporates some rpg elements into it with leveling and such.

Sweet mother of gawd this game is awesome!!!
Looks beautiful at my resolution of 2560x1440, which is not always supported by indie games, gameplay is fun and hardcore and there are tons of items and unlockables and stuff. Beautiful stuff <333

Snorms is a cool game, a unique approach to a shooter/dungenon crawler. It's hard, but that hasn't kept me from playing it repeatedly.... It's got some kind of charm that makes it addictive. Please ignore the obvious trolls who gave it a "1" and give it a try.

Thanks to Haedri for this first episode.
It's not only a shoot game, we could see that there a future game behind that. He put in place a universe.
We'll see ...

Very, very nice surprise, if not that polished (yet). The gameplay is pretty fast and responsive, and it feels somewhere between a doom-like gone 2D and a Syndicate on steroids. The graphics are pretty nice if quite simple. Well worth its price. And more.
