Audio and setting/design are the strong components of the game. Music is calm, soothing, and feels space-y. The spider looks like an astronaut in space.
Bones could have some size and texture/colour variety.
Controls are alright but sometimes feel clunky when landing on another bone - often either I can't move on the bone because I am a pixel too far away to the bone or I immediately go back on the web instead of walking on the bone. I think if the spider automatically landed on the bone at the end of the web it would feel more pleasant.
It would also help if the spider didn't look symmetrical while on the web, on short webs I'm not sure whether I should press W or S, especially with the issue above.
Otherwise I really liked the game and setting, thank you for making it!
Thanks for this big feedback :)
The name of the Spider is Climbsy^^
My audio designer will be happy. I will let him know :D
These are some good points. I tried to make it smooth transit from Web to Bone and the other way by switching from W/S to A/D Input. but i see the problems and agree with you :p
Also the problem with the symmetrical look wasnt so clear to me. Ty for pointing that out^^
I'm still working on this Project/Spider Controller and this feedback is really helpful.
I'm glad you liked it overall.
Thanks for testing it and writing this feedback^^

Good work.
