I loved the game and the fact that its protagonist is a spider and that it does spider things. I was wondering if you are going to keep making this game because I really liked it and wanted to play its full version
Thanks :) Currently this project is on hold, I'm too busy right now with other things, but m.b. some day I'll get back to it, who knows. And if I do, I'll probably re-design things from scratch, i.e. keeping the visual style and some physics aspects, but changing gameplay
So...
(just repeating other comments).Hi. Thanks for feedback. Ye, you're right, boss needs HP and player needs to stand out from the environment better. That's already on my todo list. So, whenever I get my hands on this game again I'll do it :)
i do not know how to play it
Well, it's a platformer, you can play it as any platformer
At one point I got stuck on the boss's leg and took half my health in damage, but I still ended up winning the fight after grappling onto a part of the boss and advancing to the next part.
Overall a challenging and well designed physics game. I enjoyed the momentum mechanics with the shot, dodging with the recoil felt satisfying.

Hey. It's really nice to read comments like these, glad you liked the game :)
the game is awesome and i see that youre still working on it and im exited about it so can i ask when the game will be finished (dont rush i love a long story even if its about a spider robot going thru a weird alien planet) and when you finish it will you price it (i would buy it)
Hey, thanks, glad you liked it. Right now the development is postponed for some time, I'm currently busy with some other project, but I'm hoping to get back to this game some day
Muy buen juego el enemigo final es muy dificil de vencer espero el juego completo
That was fun letsplay, Dragon100Gamer. I liked Benny Hill part the most :) I definitely should add a checkpoint to this boss fight :)
Cool game, shame i suck at it.
Cool letsplay! You actually almost did it :)
I cannot wait to see more, the demo is really fun!
Thanks! Cool letsplay :) I'm working on more stuff already :)
i came from the brazilian youtuber Felps, the demo looks amazing, good job on that, i can't support with money but, it is pretty good as what i've seen
Thanks :) Just checked out Felps's letsplay, man, that was fun! He sure suffered a lot, but in the end he did it :)
Amazing game !!!!! I love the sound of her little paws when I walk !

Hi, thanks! Unfortunately there's no Mac build at the moment
Oh! shame :( . I'll try to find a PC to try it out! Thanks for responding!
Needs a little more polish, and I wish I could see the Boss's life bar. Also, he's quite the challenge to defeat. Overall, pretty cool game.
Thanks! Cool letsplay! Yeah, the boss is quite a challenge, but that's intentional, m.b. I should add a checkpoint in this boss fight...
Really unique game. Absolutely love it. Art style is amazing and so is the physics and combat.
