ZooM – a 2-player snail race
ZooM is a simple, fun, local-multiplayer racing game. How to play: Mash your key as fast as possible to race your snail to the finish line. Very basic, yes, but I’ve uploaded this game to itch.io because I felt two aspects of it were worthy of note. 1) It was made by my kids, Gio(13) and…
