Wow. Just wow. My fav so far!

The movements of the spider are so smooth, great job with the web’s physic also !

Really nice entry 😃

Great job! For me, this is a completely new and cool mechanic. I got the most positive experience of the game. A great idea and a good implementation (the spider clings to cobweb in a very funny way)

The web mechanics are incredibly clever; I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this before. The way you highlight damaged parts of the web and how you can connect everything to build a complete cobweb is amazing. The attention to detail is impressive and adds so much depth to the gameplay.

Smooth mechanics, cool concept, Great Job!

The graphics and style are beautiful, with the music it becomes a very addictive and relaxing game xD Great job!

Awesome! Procedural animations are very cool! And web shooting and climbing feels very natural

moonydur 2024-10-08 16:18 ♥ 3

Cool and very fun idea, I enjoyed playing it. Love the ambient and art, how realistic style is

vladmirps 2024-10-08 22:47 ♥ 3

Super relaxing game. I like art a lot. Web physics is incredible.

Interesting idea to play, atmospheric background forest, nice

oduvanic 2024-10-09 08:42 ♥ 3

Very cool stuff! So cute...I really like how atmospheric this game is, the movements are very smooth and the idea is cool! You guys are great!

Props for music volume settings and arachnophobia mode. I reallly enjoyed web physics and process of building it. Spider legs animation is nice too. Indication of web breaking was intuitive and nice, sometimes though I had web splitting in middle unexpected, guess when i was at the middle and shooting it to the trees. Dunno if it was intentional or not :) BTW, when web gets bigger, some parts of it goes down under the screen so flies spawn(or dont :D) offscreen and your only means to replenish energy is to wait top spawns or hope bottom will fall off eventualy :) Overall, great job, I really liked it

Thank you everyone :)

I love this spider simulator. In real life I could not care less of spiders, but I was so engaged figuring out how to make an efficient web and keep spider's stomach full.

tarisma 2024-10-09 12:37 ♥ 4

Awesome concept ! Really fun, a bit hard to manage the weight of everything but it's challenge ! Good job

mrbananaz 2024-10-09 12:41 ♥ 3

Great replayability, and the arachnophobia filter is a great touch!

mrpossoms 2024-10-09 12:43 ♥ 3

My cat loved watching this one 😺

Beautiful environment art. I love the swaying organic feeling of everything. The web physics and procedural climbing animations were very cool. Well done!

boodle 2024-10-09 12:49 ♥ 3

Great little game! Very cool to see all the little physics happening with the webs.

maria-sh 2024-10-09 12:59 ♥ 3

Amazing work! arachnophobia filter makes me smile

julienlussiez 2024-10-09 13:00 ♥ 3

It's good. It perfectly fits the theme and I like the animation of the spider. Good job.

hugo-kieffer 2024-10-09 13:12 ♥ 3

really nice concept I love the web mechanic and the procedural movement of the spider, the concept is simple but really well executed congrats!

mr-esport 2024-10-09 13:37 ♥ 3

Love the procedural animation and the web physics ! Also the paint art style is super cute. It did slow a lot with the number of entities on screen tho, so maybe some things could be done to lighten the load. Very good entry nonetheless ^^

reecemungus 2024-10-09 14:01 ♥ 3

This game is awesome! I love the physics on the webs, it's really cool to interact with and try to keep it stable. The animation on the spider's legs is also incredibly satisfying.

I gave the Arachnophobia mode a go and I found it very funny! I'd hate to have missed the wonderful animations on the spider's legs.

This is a great game! A really nice entry!

edali 2024-10-09 14:21 ♥ 3

Very fun, you satisfied an want i didn't know i had, and now i'm playing it over and over trying to make a pretty web

solidhinken 2024-10-09 15:18 ♥ 3

Great little game! I've enjoyed the web mechanics and it's quite challenging! And the artstyle is gorgeous! Great job!

tyrannas 2024-10-09 15:24 ♥ 3

Love the graphics of the forest it looks great , and the movements of the spider (especially when climbing on the tree, cause something felt a bit weird when walking along the web), and cool mood !

magopian 2024-10-09 17:14 ♥ 3

Wow very original concept, thanks for sharing! I had some issues while navigating the webs, until i understood that it was a bit like a "road" i could navigate left and right on, and not just "follow" the path. It did feel sometimes a bit difficult, not sure when or why the web would break.

nickhellquist 2024-10-09 19:20 ♥ 3

This was really cool! Love the art-style, and I have gained a new found respect for spiders, building a good web sure ain't easy. Really enjoyed this entry :) One thing I think would have been cool, is to be able to shoot a net to save yourself while falling, but maybe it would've been too easy then, idk. Maybe shoot a web, land it on the tree then have to push a button in some sort of correct time to succesfully pull yourself up. Great game :D

inre-dan 2024-10-09 19:24 ♥ 1

@nickhellquist It took a lot of restraint to not add a grappling hook... But if we had more time, it would've been the first thing to play with :)

nickhellquist 2024-10-09 19:27 ♥ 3

@inre-dan Yeah, I can imagine 😆 Real good game anyways :)

phing 2024-10-09 22:31 ♥ 3

roroto-sic 2024-10-12 17:55 ♥ 3

Thank you all for the nice comments! We had a great time making Weaver and only wished we could've spent more time on it.
