Interesting take on the theme. I like how the instructions are on the screen in the beginning of the game.

Unusual mechanics, I like it!

Cute game, challenging but not too much!

I love the cute little spider! Does it have a name?

Audio and setting/design are the strong components of the game. Music is calm, soothing, and feels space-y. The spider looks like an astronaut in space.

Bones could have some size and texture/colour variety. Controls are alright but sometimes feel clunky when landing on another bone - often either I can't move on the bone because I am a pixel too far away to the bone or I immediately go back on the web instead of walking on the bone. I think if the spider automatically landed on the bone at the end of the web it would feel more pleasant. It would also help if the spider didn't look symmetrical while on the web, on short webs I'm not sure whether I should press W or S, especially with the issue above.

Otherwise I really liked the game and setting, thank you for making it!

@adasium

Thanks for this big feedback :) The name of the Spider is Climbsy^^

My audio designer will be happy. I will let him know :D

These are some good points. I tried to make it smooth transit from Web to Bone and the other way by switching from W/S to A/D Input. but i see the problems and agree with you :p

Also the problem with the symmetrical look wasnt so clear to me. Ty for pointing that out^^

I'm still working on this Project/Spider Controller and this feedback is really helpful.

I'm glad you liked it overall. Thanks for testing it and writing this feedback^^

Very polished and lovely game. The controls could use some more attention, but even in the current format works very nicely.

Simple and fun little game—I really like the mechanic! Maybe the web’s range could be signaled a bit more clearly.

Pretty fun game with an unusual mechanic, controls are surprisingly easy to master even when the Climbsy is upside down. Nice entry!

I didn't expect that movement mechanic! Definitely tricky the first few tries, but i really liked it c:

Really fun! Good work.

Everything is fine except that moving left and right makes me take a few extra detours!
