Windows user here. I'll give the community rating though.

Sad to see that games like this don't get many votes because they're linux-only.

Windowwws!

Got a windows port?

Something about these screenshots makes this game look interesting and I'd really like to play it, but linux means trouble for me so I might not :/

I found the grid movement frustrating, as I'd sometimes overshoot the slot I was aiming for slightly and have to wait for the entire move, by which time if I was luring a spider I'd be dead. Cool stealth puzzles, but the controls kind of killed the fun for me.

There's some memory error when I quit, but the game works. Cool strategy elements, reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid, avoiding security cameras. Pretty hard.

Windows port seems to work fine, except it crashed at shutdown. Was a bit hard.

I like how you have to trick the spiders into following you in some places. It's a nice combination of action/puzzles, but you could tone down the difficulty a bit.

Love the game idea, I think it's a pretty perfect incarnation of stealth gameplay in a 2d puzzle context. Wish there were more levels, better graphics, and non-grid based movement :)
Also, it would be cool to know how fast the spiders are without having to have them chase you.

Reminds me of DROD, but in real-time. Those damned spiders are too clever for me.

This is a pretty interesting puzzle game, it's not easy. I *really* like the 'moves to the last place they saw you' mechanic in a puzzle game, it really adds a lot of depth. Only improvements I can think of would have been general graphical polish, and potentially some background music for atmosphere.

Thanks for the Windows build.

A nice little stealth game, who would've thunk? Gets really hard, nice level design :)
Add more polish, a few more intermediate stages and you have quite a nifty game there.

Crashes on exit.

The ideas and mechanics here are really cool. I liked the ahah moment when I realized how to lure the spiders carefully to new patterns. What ended me eventual was just the brutal difficulty still. I think with more playtesting and balancing you have a great little puzzle/action game here. I like the colors and graphic stylings too.

Great puzzle game. I loved the reorganizing of spiders to make it through the level. Didn't finished the long walk.

I enjoyed this. It looks good and plays well. I got to an 'end' room (going through a 'LD15' room) but didn't play many levels on my way there, and couldn't get back out.

The way the spiders work is very cool and it was fun trying to outsmart them.

cool puzzlegame :) I liked it even though it was really hard :).

Windows port crashed at exit but I liked the evolving-puzzle-solving gameplay. Some music would have made it awesome.

Really clever game, luring the spiders is a great mechanic. I wish there were checkpoints or something though because I got sick of going back to the beginning and doing everything again when I died on longer levels (specifically, I gave up on A Long Walk). The collisions seem a bit off, sometimes I'd get hit by spiders that weren't touching me and other times they'd go straight through me.
