First of all, from the moment I opened the game page, I was really impressed by the art! It looks really great. Also, from the gameplay itself, I was pretty surprised! The bow shooting mechanic works and feels great. I love how the needles get stuck in the spiders, and I also saw that hitting different parts of the body does different damage numbers, which is great! My only complaint about the bow is the lack of some sort of reloading animation. It was hard to know if I managed to reload it or not if I was not looking at the ammo number directly. It also took me some time to understand what I needed to do to create new ammo. But when I got it, the gameplay loop became pretty nice. (And another small thing I found: if you stand at the silk box, sometimes the spiders stop moving and attacking until you move from there.)

Thank you for the feedback :) All points I want to fix when it opens back up. I like the loop, I think there's more to the teaching the player, extending the gameplay  (like upgrades and new weapons) and adding more mob types. I wanted to add Moths but ran out of time.

one of the coolest executions of the theme ive seen, i love the art style so so much it has the vibes of identity V,, i had some trouble with the mouse not locking into the game but once i figured it out it worked perfectlyyy i would genuinely love to see more done on this because its so impressive how much you did in a week! be proud of urself this was sick

Ii dont understand this game I think im dumb

Developer

It's not completely baked πŸ₯², kill spiders, collect silk, feed silk into hopper, spin wheel, get thread, use thread as ammo. You can repair spider entrances but I honestly ran out of time. to test / fix those issues

This is cool. The art style is interesting, and it's really cool that you can play with others. Great job

Your art is really cool and the game world is really intricate ! Love the shooting needles instead of arrows decision :)

You're getting locked by the rotation of your mouse, it seems that after some 180 degrees in either direction you can't turn around anymore :) but elsewise it was nice

Developer

Thanks :) Woes of WebGL... 

Can I ask what browser you're using?

My mouse wouldnt lock so I couldnt actually look around :( seems like a cool game but you need to fix that!!!

Developer

Weird it locks in Safari and Edge :( Try using ESC to force the lock when you're in-game. Clicking into the window should lock it.
