pretty cool art! Sadly I cannot make it past the 2nd level... Even in the post jam game. Is there a way to jump or cast the web before falling?

Thank you for your really great submission!

I absolutely love cat-themed games! I also enjoy how seemingly "creepy" or "evil" creatures are made to look cute.

I found the controls a bit tricky at first, but you do get the hang of it. The humor in the graphics is fantastic! And let’s not forget that the "M" button is extremely important!

I particularly enjoyed the scene with the red spider and the hearts, but unfortunately, I ended up back at the beginning of the level sequence after that, even though I saw the “Level 1 Completed” screen.

Very charming game. I like these "spidercats", ahaha. Kitties.. Just cuties :3

Graphics. The game looks beautiful and stunning, but it clearly needs to work on the combination of graphic assets. Right now it looks too inconsistent and disjointed.

Gameplay. Very interesting core mechanics. Game design. The game often feels too unfair. Like "why did my web break, what did I do wrong?" The game would also be much more fun with several balls of web in stock. It would be a cool puzzle platformer.

The game also lacks GAME JUICE. Give me more juice, more movement, more flavor of the game and feedback!

Otherwise, a very good job. I can't say that I would rate it. Although it looks like your game is really one of the good ones from the jam. Decent work!

I liked the game, it has nice music and very cute sounds (especially the spider). Also, the style of the game is very cool and the idea is interesting. The spider is very beautiful by the way)

I loved the game and the spider-cat is so freaking cute! Happy that I got to save his little cat girlfriend. The sound effects and art and everything is super well done!

Thank you everyone for leaving such nice comments, we appreciate it very much <3

For those who are interested we pushed out a second post-jam version (*SpiderPlatformer-postjam-v2.zip*) which fixes some very annoying bugs and oversights as well as making some levels easier. Please make sure to only rate the jam version though!

The cutiest spidercat I ever saw. Button to meow being so far away is a crime! Controlls felt a bit clunky at times - I wish I could attach to things much faster. Most times that I would fail double attachments were due to me not counting that thread speed and falling to my doom :)

Cool spidercat idea and the graphics are great, had fun playing this, nice work!

Incredibly cute game!

The art is really well done, both the backgrounds and characters. Animations looks really clean as well! Also loved the audio of the spider cats. Overall I had a great time and this might be my favourite game jam game this competition so far :)

To give something "constructive": You are probably well aware of that, but the level design elements (floors etc.) could be adjusted more visually to match the rest of the graphics. Otherwise absolutely nothing to complain about!

"This is currently my favorite Game Jam game; the art and music are both fantastic. It's my first time playing a Spider-Man-like game, and it feels really great to play.

Here are a few bugs and suggestions:

The actual collision size of the spikes seems larger than they appear visually.

Sometimes I feel like I died, but I didn’t, and I got stuck on the other side of the platform. I couldn’t move and had to click restart.

There are times when I think I heard the death sound effect, but the game still counted it as me passing the level.

While I was playing, I streamed it for my friends, and one of them mentioned that the hedgehogs in my game seemed smaller than in hers, which made it harder for her to pass the level.

(Don’t worry :D, my rating didn’t take any of these into account! I believe these can be slowly optimized and fixed!)"

Nice addictive game. Cool voice acting! Nice graphics.

Very cool! I feel like the swinging was a little quirky at times, and I got stuck at the same level as the other comments with screenshots. Otherwise the visuals are super cute and the level designs are pretty interesting, so well done!

Very creative design, I love your art style, cute spider cat
