Spider Diner by Whirlwind

[raw]
made by Whirlwind for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

It's always a busy day at the Spider Diner. With orders FLYING you'll have to pick up the ROPES fast if you want to make enough tips to keep your job as the Spidre D'. Nobody knows what happened to the last person who ran the front of the house, but rumor has it they got in deep with the GODFROGGER...

HOW TO PLAY

Use your mouse to draw (Left Mouse Button), rearrange (Left Mouse Button), or cut (Right Mouse Button) bouncy webs to send the right kind of flies to your guests.

Some guests want only one kind of fly, and some will order many dishes in a row. Bring them the kind of food that they want to make them happy, but be warned: if you let them stew long enough with no new snacks they'll get frustrated and lower your tip.

Flies move based on your drawings, but they've been known to get distracted when many other flies are nearby. Don't be afraid to touch up your setup when things changes. Otherwise, your job might be the thing caught in a trap.

Very cute and pretty fun, the music gives a nice mood to it. The window size in browser doesn't fit the game, I suppose it doesn't match the game resolution.

Thanks for the feedback @rascarcapackdev !
We had an issue with one of our early builds, but we think we've got a fix now and can't reproduce the issue on our end anymore. We're glad you could still enjoy the game!

Fantastic game! Only problem was one crash as we went from level 2 to level 3, aside from that, super cohesive and fun!

Really liked the art and concept of this! Gameplay was easy to understand and it's also nice that the waiter walks to the nets instead of just standing somewhere ^^

While not incredibly polished, I really enjoyed this entry, it was really fun and I could see it stealing a lot more of time, had it had more content. Even a procedural, endless mode, could be very fun!

The audio effects were sometimes uncohesive in my opinion, but nothing too big so as to ruin the engagement or fun.

A very very entertaining entry!
