The game is progressive. The player has time to understand the controls and the gameplay. It's funny because we did a little the opposite for our game. We wanted to surprise the player by plunging directly into action. Anyway, well done to you :)
There's a nice feeling when you click and you get ejected then propulsed. Nice job !
My one complaint is that the mouse isn't constrainted within the game, so I keep pressing outside the window. Other than that, really fun game!
Had a blast with it, and couldn't help myself from trying to get to the end ! :)
I suppose you already the idea of porting it to mobile, but if you didn't, just know that i would download it and play sometimes !
It took some time to figure out myself the mechanics, but you can really call that a game that doesn't need further explications !
Well done !
@steing It's possible to open the link and play it on a phone. I'm also planning to export it to an app later on.
Though, the theme is not too obvious to me (maybe there are more obstacles as we move forward ?) and the spider web metaphore could have been pushed a bit further.
Very fun game.
I think that the way the obstacles behind you can still hurt you feels a little wrong, because the position of the spider on the screen, and the fact it swing back when it stops.
Also the design of the obstacles does not make very clear what is harmful and what is not. Like that rectangle thing, that harmless when it is purple(?) but is harmful when it is white that is the player color what makes it a little confusing at first.
Great game!
