Newbie - moving snails defeats purpose?

There is exactly one map I am aware of where you can reach any place on the map from any other place, and that was designed specifically for this purpose. The maps from the game always have some sort of divider in the middle. So no, its not like you are going to go in a killing spree. If you want it more challenging, set the time limit to 15 seconds in the options - or just don't move when it's your turn. The 5 seconds to run away are next to nothing, believe me. Play Snails for about half an hour and rethink your opinion.
