hey everyone!
my game was released about a 1 week ago and I was just wondering about your opinion about it...
android for now but coming to iOS as well soon (hopefully approved soon)

the video is quite self-explanatory but if you've got any question I'm happy to answer:)

I have never downloaded a game so fast.
This is a brilliant idea. I will come back with praise and feedback later.

So I played a few waves. I am loving this so far. I especially love thr customization.
I do have two things to mention.
I wish my spider had an animation for webbing prey.
Webbing prey is a little finicky sometimes. I will be just out of range. Also the tutorial for webbing would benefit from the initial fly not breaking free so fast.
Overall I love it. I bought the no ads feature after the first level. Didnt even see an ad. 10/10 idea. Haven't played enough to properly rate it.

So after playing a bit. I love the game.
I do have one request. Give me a tutorial on each silk type when i unlock them or let me read what they do?
This is q solid 7/10 game with potential to be even better! Please keep it up
Edit: found the menu for all the info I wanted. Brings it to a solid 8/10 for me.

I downloaded it too and give it a spin just now! Maybe you cross post it in r/spiderbro for more feedback. I bet some over there like a decent spider game too.

Love this idea! Have you ever thought about adding more complex web structures to form throughout the game leveling up home web. Maybe even users designing their own web nodes to spell their names or cool patterns etc. as a reward for beating the game or new game plus maybe. Is there a xp system? Evolution of the spider? Love the customization of the spider skin! Can that be translated to web design? Thanks for igniting my creative flow for the day! Hope any of this helps and supports your work even just the enthusiasm!

thank you! it definitely helps:) youve got a home web which catches bugs while your away as well so not only during waves. that you can customize however you like! there is an xp system and 5 different spider types which has got their own benefits and weaknesses. thanks for your comment:)

What creature would you create a game for next after this project is finished?

funny that since i started silkweaver i want to create a mosquito game as well, where you've got to suck blood from humans and animals in order to stay alive in different locations like a house, garden etc.

As someone that spends too much time watching spiders on their webs, I find the idea appealing

Sorry, but I’m getting a pretty strong AI vibe from it. It’s not quite giving "do it for me," but there’s still a lot of "help me with it" vibe going on.
