Awesome game, well done for the level of polish for a game jam! I sadly soft blocked myself and forgot to use the R button to restart, but I really enjoyed the experience of spinning webs to solve puzzles! Might make a nice complete game (still difficult to sell though because it's a platformer).

Despite the physics of the boxes being a bit "bouncy", it's great, well done!

Developer

Thank you! I worked really hard on it!

Submitted

I love the whole grappling system, how it can be used for more than just swinging. Also the spider walking animation is really creepy! My only nitpick is that I wish the spider was pulled up faster by the grapple, that would make the movement feel even more fun, hehe

Developer

Thank you! Deciding the climbing rate was a tough decision.

Submitted

Quite fun, the web swinging was fun to use!

One thing I will say is it feels a little harsh getting sent back to the start when you die, could you add some sort of checkpoint system?
Otherwise well done!

Developer

Yeah, I ran out of time to do that, plus the level isn't very long.

Submitted

Very good game. I love the walk animation of the spider.

Developer

Thanks, it took me many hours to program that.

Submitted

Pretty cool. Unfortunately I got one of the rocks stuck and had to reset. But nice simple game. Good job! 

Developer

Thank you! I'm not very good at level design so that can happen sometimes.

Submitted

I loved walking around with the spider,  the leg movements felt really nice. Sometimes the spikes killing me felt unfair because I didn't think I was close enough to them.

But it was a clever game, and unique take on the theme! Nice

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I didn't realize they felt unfair!

Submitted

Fun game. I love the visuals and I liked that you can hook a box and while you are on it to fly (even if I think it is not intended)

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to fix that bug, but it's pretty fun anyways. Thanks!

Submitted

This was a lot of fun! The way you used shadows in this game reminded me a lot of Limbo. The web mechanic is awesome. As you stated, the physics needs some work, but you have a lot of good ideas going in this game. Nice job!

Developer

Yeah, I chose that art style because little old unartistic me can't pull anything else off. Thank you!

Submitted

Love the vibes! SFX for the spider's movement is a bit loud, and I did get screwed over by the box collisions a couple of times. A couple of extra checkpoints would have made that latter point sting less ;)

Developer

I really would have added checkpoints, but I ran out of time, and the level was pretty short anyways. Thanks!

Submitted

Cool physics! Lovely game overall, really liked the cute rescue sounds xD

I'm not sure if I cheesed the game or beat it in the intended way, I think the last puzzle wanted me to bring 3 blocks there but I started to fly around with just one and used the edge of the door where there's no spikes to cross the last wall since I couldn't turn back.

(also I almost got myself softlocked in the dumbest way haha)


Developer(+1)

Nice way of solving the puzzle, good job! It's really difficult to make physics puzzles like this only have one solution, so I kinda embraced it and I ended up with about 5 solutions to that last puzzle.

Submitted

Nice game!! It's nice to see this creative take on the theme ^_^

Some extra space for the boxes to move in general would have been nice. The box you have to swing into the first button is a bit too hard to get into place when you don't know what you're doing because it's difficult to space it correctly for it to not touch the floor or the ceiling. Also the boxes just after that can get stuck very easily when falling, because the holes are not big enough for them to fall diagonally x_x

Besides that it was an enjoyable game, would love to see it turned into a full game with more levels ^_^

Developer

Yeah, I'm really not very good at level design. Thank you!

Submitted

This game has potential! The platforming feels nice and the puzzles are not too hard. The visual atmosphere is awesome.

I'd be happy if you'd try our game too :3

Developer

Thank you! I sure will!

Submitted

This has a great deal of potential, I just wish there were more web slinging sections. Good stuff!

Developer

Thank you! I ran out of time for making levels.

Submitted

I really like the web mechanic! The DA is cool, and I love the spider's animation! The level design is really nice, too! Great game!

Developer

Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

Submitted

This kind of game has a lot of speedrunning potential! The art is very cute and I haven't seen this take on the theme yet. I found this interaction where if i pull next to a rock and a wall i get wall climb lol (also theyre spiders, why no wall climb anyway? :P). Also theres a bit of a bug where the rock can get stuck in the ceiling if you try to pull it through a platform. Great design overall and I hope you're able to keep working on it!

Developer

Yeah, this is my first time working with physics, so there's lots of issues. Thank you!

Submitted

Neat game! I like how you explained the game, it made it easy. Also the art is nicely done!

Developer

Thank you, it was not easy trying to find a good choice of words.

Submitted

I love the sound effects and the background! I thought the grass was spikes for a while so I was avoiding it at first haha

Developer

Yeah, I got that a lot when play testing, and I tried to avoid that by making it sway. Thanks!

Submitted

I enjoyed the game a lot. 

The contrast between level and characters was hard to figure out at the beginning. After some time, you get used to it. 

What I enjoyed the most was web swinging and rescuing the spiders. 

Developer

I chose that art style because it was the only one I could pull off very well. Glad you enjoyed my game!

Submitted

Greatt game! It checks all the boxes: it looks great, the swing mechanic is fun, and the puzzles are cool.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! It was definitely a challenge to ideate those puzzles.
