There are a few puzzles that you can play to get through the levels as well. However, there are a few friends who will come along to help when you need it, so you have to pay attention to your surroundings. These challenges will become harder as you complete each level. You have to guide Bob to use the levers and the switches that will move to allow for getting by them so that he's not harmed. While going from one level to another, Bob operates different types of machines and tools in order to move along on the ground. He also has a newspaper that he looks at that is similar to a map and that offers guidance for him to find a home. The only thing that Bob has with him when he leaves is a suitcase. There are also a few characters you'll meet that will hinder your race to find a new home.

While playing, you'll encounter a few characters along the way that become friends. Now, Bob has to pack everything he has to find a new place to live. Humans have destroyed Bob's home by tearing it down. Keep in mind that Bob moves along the ground slowly because he's a snail, so you won't be able to get very far unless you find some kind of booster for added speed. It's easy to move Snail Bob using the assigned keys for the game. The sound effects are good, but they could be improved.

The graphics of Snail Bob 1 are colorful and engage you while playing.
