Nice game. The art is very well done, I love the overall feeling. The visual tutorial in the description is perfectly clear, it makes a great addition !

The look and sound goes perfectly together! Also, very clever title. :D I had some trouble fitting the game on my 13 inch macbook and had some alignment errors in full screen. Maybe it's a browser issue? But luckliy it was playable. Great work team!

A little frustrating to control but very impressive.

It is best not to make the web page full screen

I like it! Levels are difficult but interesting. Swing on rope are slow, I think it need faster. It's funny what my game has same theme and mechanic :D

Very nice, easy to understand gameplay. I was a little confused as to why the level ended sometimes, but nonetheless an enjoyable experience.

frostbeak 2024-10-08 14:26

Yo this was pretty cool!

mikeandtherest 2024-10-08 14:27

Nice game! Everything in it makes me think at the good old Atari 2600 games, especially the music :)

kevin-meissner 2024-10-08 14:58

Lot of content and well polished, good work. thanks

The music, is really nice. Could be a bit longer. Graphics aren't something super special, but the mood they create is really good! Gameplay-wise its a bit short. Understandable, designing that kind of levels takes a lot of time and I think 5 are enough for LD! Controls need some getting used to it, but are fine. I found it a bit frustrating when suddenly dying for some unknown reason. The Reason: I was hitting a wall. It might sound dumb, but I'd have appreciated some sort of warning. Maybe a glitchy (computer theme), red(contrast to the green PCB) vignette?

Also, game was a bit buggy when not in full-screen (par Example because of chrome Devtools). I also was getting random deaths for some unknown reason. The Reason was: I wasn't seeing the 'SILKS LEFT' display due to those screen bugs. Probably are some unity/itch.io bugs but defenetly something to be taken care of when offering the game as HTML5 Screenshot 2024-10-08 165602.png

Game was a bit lonely, only a spider and a bug. Would have enjoyed a bit more animations, keeping the scene alive. Just imagine what all those buzzling components currently are doing! And try visualizing that! Maybe add an LCD, or a blinking LED, or maybe a fan, or maybe an RELAY that periodicly switches, causing the whole scene to rutttle, or maybe components that commit to the sick music. Imagine the player having to jump from the mother board to a daughter one, whilst its moving or so. I'd take inspiration from little big planet (3) . They had a lot of creativity designing that game. Just make sure to make the player controls a bit more usable when implementing serious level navigation.

All in all, I liked it.

Really impressive game. It is a bit difficult to not "snap" to the top of a rope. But I liked it :)

velvetlobster 2024-10-08 16:12

I quite enjoyed that spider web physics system. It turns out to be an intriguing experience—somewhat in the realm of a platformer, I suppose. You jump, yet it's all based on physics, which is a cool idea to explore. There's definitely something captivating about it. I wonder if it would be intriguing to introduce levels that are a bit more chaotic, allowing you to explore and have, let's say, multiple exits for the levels.

game-dynasty 2024-10-08 17:03

Damn, this game turned out to be quite difficult for me, but that's why it was interesting. I don't really like this style of graphics (these are really dark weird shadows), but considering that we are "inside" the computer it's appropriate

perro 2024-10-08 18:05

This game really stood out to me for its visuals and gameplay offered. Really excellent game. Well done!

kirass 2024-10-08 18:22

Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!

nazariglez 2024-10-08 20:03

Fun concept! Loved the spider web physics and fitting visuals. Controls are tricky but rewarding. Nice atmosphere with the music. Gj!

nimidori311 2024-10-08 23:58

The game’s visuals are a perfect blend of futuristic vibes with a touch of cuteness, making the whole experience both techy and fun. The spider’s smooth movements while web-shooting and fixing the network are a delight to watch, and the sound effects add a nice touch, with the occasional mechanical whirring and bug-catching noises immersing you in the atmosphere.

iwant-pizza 2024-10-09 00:26

The graphics are cool, the sounds are annoying and the gameplay is very wayward for people

vipaka 2024-10-09 00:57

Unique for sure, cute music!

skleembof 2024-10-09 01:38

That felt like major league cut the rope. The gameplay was fun but it wasn't exactly clear what the goal was at first. The tutorial level is a bit confusing because if you're trying to get all the files the level might end before you reach the end unexpectedly since the bug might climb onto the web as you're pressing keys trying to figure out the controls. Maybe add a third point towards the left that you have to swing to to get to the bug.

Also I found level 5 way easier than 4

david-huculak 2024-10-09 03:42

I didn't understand how to play the game

googlefrog 2024-10-09 03:58

Best music of the jam so far.I really liked the swinging around too, but was not able to beat level 5 with all the folders.

captainzo 2024-10-09 06:31

Very good puzzle game! I had a bit of trouble understanding the game at first, but once I got the hang of it, each puzzle was really fun! The music is really cool, and the graphics are very nice. I really like the little fireflies that light up the background. Great work! :smile:

bobap 2024-10-09 10:00

I got all of the objectives in some levels, but it kept going. I'm not sure how to end a level.

morepixels 2024-10-09 11:09

I was pretty confused at what i was doing at first, but once i got the hang of it, it was pretty cool! Well Done!

paperr 2024-10-09 12:28

I really like the game's graphics :D

ping78 2024-10-09 13:49

Really enjoyed this one! The level design is challenging but fun, and I love the theme of exploring inside a computer. One thing that would help is making rope swinging feel a bit more fluid. Overall, great job on a well-polished game!

rentem 2024-10-09 14:42

Nice game. I enjoyed playing it

juanrod707 2024-10-09 14:46

Neat little puzzle game, amazing work!

andriana-mantidfly 2024-10-10 04:27

I liked the visual of the game and the music, but the gameplay is not intuitive in some places.

nikitastarostin 2024-10-10 10:32

I absolutely loved the art component of the game and the atmosphere. Beautiful lighting and game with post processing. It's really hard to make a game like this in 3 days. Well done!

iaroslavik 2024-10-10 10:37

Interesting, good job 😌

brainles-etertainment 2024-10-10 19:08

Pretty loud music :'( But overall, nice game and pleasant visuals. Controls are slightly confusing, it took some time to figure out how to play, despite the fact I have read instructions :)

pimping 2024-10-11 18:04

Wow, what a great game, not that much games like this, definitely high rank!

100th-coin 2024-10-12 15:43

Wow, I love the artwork! I never really figured out exactly how the game works. I know I need to catch the bug in the web and eat the bug, but the controls were a bit odd, and I wasn't sure if I was doing it right, even when I won the levels.

I recorded myself playing so you can watch my confusion.

Very cool game though. Cheers!

I’m drawn to the game’s thoughtful interpretation of the theme, paired with its beautiful visuals. God Job!

wenyu-bao 2024-10-16 13:06

I love the gameplay and the great music! That shiny bug is adorable. At first, I wasn’t sure how to beat the levels, but there are plenty of challenges for me to try out!

arqcenick 2024-10-23 17:11

The controls were a bit hard but overall I enjoyed the game the graphics and music are atmospheric. It is a very well made game.

filgru 2024-10-24 00:35

Cool entry! It was hard to understand what the goal was at first. I like the animation of the spider, it could be nice if he had more different reactions. I had a lot of fun playing it. Well done!

lindote 2024-10-24 18:30

Cool Game. Hard to play. Aahahaha I liked the animations and the theme of the game. The sound was OK, Creepy as it should have been. Very well desing game, nice work

codmen4000 2024-10-25 02:04

It looks great, but the controls, and goal were hard to decipher. I try to play games without reading a wall of description, and this took some thinking.
