RocketSnail Games

RocketSnail Games is an online developer of games and comics. Among other games, they notably created Experimental Penguins, Penguin Chat, Penguin Chat 3, Club Penguin, Mancala, and Ballistic Biscuit. The company website (rocketsnail.com) was eventually closed down due to a lack of funding, however it was later re-opened as a blog.
In the summer of 2005, sneak peeks for Club Penguin were released on rocketsnail.com in the form of a blog post by Rsnail. From April 14, 2009, to an unknown time before summer of 2010, Rsnail continued to make posts.
==Older/original versions to Club Penguin Games==
===Mancala Snails===
Played with the same rules as Mancala, Mancala Snails relies on the player to move snails around the board rather than stones, and into a jar rather than their mancala. This game is still available. Play it here
===Ballistic Biscuit===
Ballistic Biscuit was the original version of Club Penguin's Hydro Hopper. The main difference between this game and Hydro Hopper was that there were humans rather than penguins. Hydro Hopper used to use the same name as this game, until the name was changed due to a vote. Some of the other choices were "Board Blaster" and "Water Yachter." There are different variations of this game as well, made for many websites, like they did with Penguin Chat.
==Word Crunch==
Everyday there was a new theme of word crunching. This game is also still available. Play it here
An iPhone version was released on December 10, 2011.
==Experimental Penguins==
Experimental Penguins was a game designed to test the multi-player, movement and chat aspects of Club Penguin. The game was very simple, but because of the absence of Filters and Reporting, it was not as safe as the final game.
===Other===
Rocketsnail also made other games based on the same concept as Penguin Chat for other companies. Examples of these games include Goat Chat, Crab Chat, Snail Chat, and many more.
==RocketSnail Blog==
If you want to see the archive remake of the Rocketsnail CP blog, you can see it here. Or, if you prefer, this is back up, but now it is only a blog.

==Comeback==
If RocketSnail was searched into a good search engine, the first website to come up would be RocketSnail. If the site was visited, a Christmas picture would come up referencing to snails. In the corner there was a message saying 'Relaunching in Spring 2011'. He relaunched his blog early: http://blog.rocketsnail.com/
