woof I hate spiders! XD and TIL procedural animation. It was a fun silly (creepy) game, pretty smooth interactions with really dumb tiny spiders that always clumped together. thanks for making this! (I shouldn't have played a spider-themed game before bedtime though.)

Why spiders, though? Why not, I don't know, ~~c~~rustaceans :crab: ?

Did I win? :D

This is disturbing and very cool, love the mood, graphics and music. Would love to see this idea expanded upon! Also kinda reminds me of Enemy (2013) by Denis Villeneuve. Wouldn't recommend if you don't like big spiders :>

Well. There is a message somewhere - I assume. A strange and weird experience which I liked. Animations are really well done and background music too. I had fun eating others. Arachnophobic ? Don't play this game ++

What a cool game! I love the aesthetic and loved getting huge!​ I had a good time playing this and think it could be later expanded to have levels and goals of getting to a certain size and obstacles kind of like Katamari Damacy. its really good. Thank you!

There was a strange progression going on. Where at first I chase spiders, then I get too big so I have to leave the screen to see the spiders, then I got so big that I could eat spiders without even seeing them. The vibe was fun. Would love to see a bit more depth in this. Not much connection to the theme either. The music was hype inducing, and the spiders moved eerily. Awesome job stylistically. Thank you for the game!

The procedural animation is great in here, it adds a spooky frantic feel to it and so does the music.
I think if you had there be spiders able to eat you that would be cool.

The animation is really nice. Also the music sounds good with the overall tone of the game. I wish there was more to it, though.

My whole screen is now spider too! Is there some kind of end screen?

Cute little game with fairly weird soundtrack!

Special thanks for making a web game on rust, I'm learning how to do it right now, and will probably peek into the source code a few times :smiley:

The spider taking up the whole screen is the end screen :upside_down:
