Yard Spider – Concept

So, I’m not sure if I’ll have time to do anything for LD but why not give it a shot?

One “tiny world” concept I’ve thought of every once in awhile was to be a spider in a huge yard (from your perspective) and build a web in 3d and handle various things as they come your way. However, that doesn’t sound like an LD-sized game to me and I’m not sure I could even get the movement down or anything by the time the bell rings.

Instead, I’m going for hotseat multiplayer goodness of fighting as a lone spider against other yard-inhabitants in the style somewhat akin to Worms. So one player is always the spider, the other gets to choose between ants, flies, and a big ole beetle that can dig and melee. One tricky part will be that flies, and other insects cannot see webs, which will have a 50% chance of catching flies, 100% chance of catching ants (who can still shoot), and can slow down beetles by 25%.
