Untitled Spider Game
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"Untitled Spider Game" is a 3D platformer where you play as a spider who has infested a wizard's home. You must fend off the dead hands employed to kill you while you shoot webs to catch flies and progress!
This game was made within just 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2023 with the theme "Roles Reversed"
Narrative:
“You are a measly spider who has crawled into the wrong house trying to get your daily flies. The wizard’s right and left hands (pun intended) have taken it upon themselves to clear their master’s house of the pest, i.e. YOU! You must sneak around and place webs strategically to catch flies to progress while dodging a myriad of attacks!”
How To Play:
1. Controls:
- Mouse - Move Camera
- WASD / Arrow Keys - Move Character
- Space Bar- Jump
- E / Left Mouse Click (Hold)- Weave web
- Weaving takes a bit of time, hold the button until health bar appears
- Esc - Exit
2. Mechanics:
a) Health - The hearts indicate your current health. Getting caught in the bug spray will drain your health, eat flies you captured to gain your health back!
b) Webs - They allow you to catch the flies you need to win. Look for spots on the level with flies zooming around.
- You can place webs anywhere by holding down the left mouse click. There is a short cooldown before you can place the next web shown on the left of your screen.
- Be careful, each web you place has a health bar of its own so you must distract the enemy and lead them away before they destroy the web!
c) Flies - You need to capture 18 flies top to win and escape the wizard's house! The number of flies you have collected so far is shown on the top-left of your
3. Danger!
Stay away from the hand! Its bug spray can damage you and your webs! If it sees you it will not stop until you find a good place to hide!
