Fun game! The mechanics are intuitive and I had a good time learning how to deal with the different obstacles you threw at the player. The art and shaders are *very* well done. The spiders' eye glow is a really nice touch that gives a little more warning which is always welcome. Overall, I think you did a great job!
With that said, this game feels like it's at its best when you're just on the edge of death and barely manage to escape. In levels II and III it feels like this balance works well but for me at least (possible skill issue alert) IV was very difficult. There were many many times where I was surrounded by 3-4 spiders with no escape and many times where I died while reloading to spider that just happened to walk into my vicinity after I started reloading. I also couldn't quite figure out where the boulders spawn, I originally presumed they fall where the debris falls but that doesn't seem to be the case. All of my criticisms are more minor gripes and skill issues, you've honestly done a very good job with the only 72 hours you had to make this game, fantastic job my friend!
