Pretty fun :) Sounds were old school, like back in the day of Mario. Concept was cool but could be developed even more. Otherwise a really fun game, reminds me of stick man archer a bit :D

How fun. ;] Climbing buildings and them jumping down on these policemen was awesome. Turning them into cocoons was comically disturbing and I've figured out also how to propel them up in the air. Oh, intro cutscene was nice too.

Hey!
The intro cutscene was very funny!
I got a little messed with the controls, I guess you could set the Arrows as alternative buttons.

Congratulations!

Nice work! Fun stuff. I really enjoyed seeing the police crowd and come up toward me, then start fleeing in terror when I charged. Wouldn't mind seeing the hitboxes for grabbing police a little larger - I seemed to have trouble getting ahold of very many

I didnt know when I could grab the policemen, but animation is cool. Good work !

i must say that i really enjoy the man-spider figure its well thought off, i love the building climbing mechanic, the only thing i felt that was missing was a damage intake from not stomping the police quick enough. Overal well done

Thank you all, this was my first game and I'm really overwhelmed and grateful by the comments I got so far. @Friday I agree it needs more developement but the time was short. @Louspirit you can grab the police after you have stomped on their head :D.

Ha, i liked the police's face, the face of the Horror! Running for their lives. The game remembers me the Rampage series, i really liked that game.

I was mildly amused when I kicked my first police in the air, couldnt stop kicking the poor policemen :D
Afterwards tried to climb up to building but somehow fell through the road in to the void (some bug perhaps?)
Overall good idea for game!

I liked that I was able to push around police cars but it would have been better if I was able to crush police with the cars or have them explode.
The building climbing felt slow and not worth doing.
For what it is I had fun.

Putting a policeman into a cocoon was so funny ^^ Poor policemen. The intro is cool too.

This concept of a "reversed spider-man" is really nice, and can be even more fun if you work more on it! :)

The intro cutscene and the concept itself is really fun and could turn into a nice parody of spider-man with some kind of godzilla action. :)

Reminded a bit of the Rampage series here!:P And for a first game is pretty nice, I'm sure!

Congrats! :D

This game does for arachnid conservation what Gorillas in the Mist did for primates.

Would recommend.
