Cool concept though ! Keep working :)
The controls feel quite awkward: the animation of attacking seems to have no effect, it seems that killing spiders is actually a case of left clicking on them if they're in range, not hitting them with the newspaper model? Perhaps the attack should be some kind of swing in which all spiders in the path of the newspaper get killed?
The game goes from boringly easy (first 100 spiders attacked) to pointlessly impossible (game spawns spiders every frame instantly, ending up with >3000 spiders in a minute or two). I think there could do with being a more gradual difficulty ramp, culminating in some kind of win/lose condition. Having it become simply impossible feels unfair as a player.
It doesn't seem possible to lose (spiders don't hurt you or damage anything?) and it doesn't seem possible to win? I can't knock this too much as my game has no win condition, only a lose condition, but I think it's important to have one or the other! :)
Hope this feedback helps, good work and thanks for submitting :)
Gameplay lacks of goals and music would be nice (some low and dark sounds would be enough for a ominous mood). Graphics however are very well done!
