Beautiful room and I really like the way you designed the itch.io page! :) Would love to see how this would be like with gameplay. Lovely art <3

Really cute game! It's pretty hard to tell where the boot will land when I stomp. Didn't stop me from getting the spider eventually though ;D

I wanted to add a shadow for the boot, but ran out of time. Also, it would've made the game a bit easier.

Really happy with the way the spider scurries around the room, using code from an example for creating homing missiles in games ;)

Cute little game! I spent way too much time rearranging everything in the room after I squashed the spider. Also that was a very gruesome death, that is now hiding under the bed.

Interesting concept I have liked to play different arrangements of the room or at least stomped more spiders. A shadow for the boot would have been nice or at least have the boot closer to the ground so it doesn't have to fall as far. Great art and music (:

Good music. Sometimes I found it hard to actually move the furniture around the room at times, but I squashed the spider in the end.

I built a spider-sanctuary out of the furniture and watched is run around with joy while I marveled at the graphics. The spider will live for ever in my version and very well organized room. Moving furniture around was oddly satisfying.

That spider must have some serious hardcore AI! It took me 5 minutes to finally stomp it after almost giving up. Well done. I like the room & furniture. Very cute!

I like the idea. and the graphics and audio are really great!
pity it's unfinished.

Hi there. Nice game. I like the idea to move things to find the spider. I do it the same way if such an intruder approaches in my appartment :) I fear spider to death :D Great artwork, very good use of the theme. The musik is thrilling but a little loud.... but maybe this is because of my (new) awesome Senheiser Headphones :D If you would give the giant boot a shadow it would be much much easier to hit that spider... or did i miss an indicator. I say it because it is damn hard to hit that creepy fast spider thing. Good job!

Hello there! Nice little game :)
The only thing I'd have like to be able to, is to use a keyboard button to stomp, as I already need my mouse to move the shoe.
Otherwise, well done! (+1 for the changeable music directly from the radio ^^)

Ewww, it had yellow gue inside it.

Great game :) I felt like it needed a ending.

Very short but very powerful to stomp this asshole of a spider. the art is fantastic so is the music

For an unfinished entry, it felt surprisingly finished! Took me longer than I care to admit to finally squash it. Nice touch with the radio - didn't notice it in the instructions, so it was a nice surprise when I clicked on it accidentally.

This is actually pretty cool, the art style is eye candy and I find the game lovely. Too bad you weren't able to finish it on time, it was still really good and I hope you'll find time to keep working on it.

Very cute game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/8ZKn12Y_qVg

Cute game, nice visual style. Feel like the basic idea is pretty good here. Would be nice to have a shadow under the boot though. Seems like there could be multiple levels with increasing difficulty, multiple spiders, or more clutter in the room perhaps.
