For some reason i can't post in "suggest a game" so i started this thread.

For those of you who have not seen it, check it out.

It is perhaps the best online game ever played by myself, and definitely the most creative and intuitive. It is fun making webs once you learn how, and I have learned all kinds of tricks in just a few minutes. Post any comments about the game or any cool tricks you found here!

One of mine is to make huge webs across large gulleys, and then strap stuff to it that I don't want to lose, like the nest ball thing. A great game with some funny stuff you can do, like garrysmod but for spiders.

While I think the concept is interesting, the game seems to run unbearably slow on any computer I play it on. I mean, my home computer can handle Oblivion with everything turned up, so I don't see why this game should offer so much resistance. It's a pity, too, because I'd really like to get into it. I'll try to with a smaller screen, though, and see what sort of results I get.

It seems perhaps that clicking and dragging the feet to move, while interesting, is a bit slow. So I hope there aren't a lot of fast moving enemies as the game goes on, or else I'm totally doomed!

Yeah, same with me. My computer is able to handle nearly anything, so running this shouldn't be a problem. Even though it is slow, it is still a great game. But yeah, if there are hard enemies that can fly or move fast then I am screwed. Would be cool if you could eat them or catch them in your webs though. I wish it had a multiplayer element, coop or something would be awesome, a downloadable version would be cool, and a level editor would kick ass. Basically, a full version or something would be better.

Save it to your computer, and play it with a standalone flash player, not in your browser, it gave me some better framerates (not as good as i wanted tough)

I personally don't enjoy this game very much. The browser version is poor quality to begin with which is annoying. The max frame rate on the browser version was 16fps. After downloading the .swf I find that on my computer the frame rate gets worse.

You all have serious problems...

I was playing it on 512mb of RAM, intergrated graphics and a 1.2 cpu and i was getting great fps... no lag at all

Hm, a little lag on my machine...

Pretty nice game, i love the music, really fits in. I think it's pretty hard though..

I didn't have any problems with this game either, and I have a fairly high-end system... odd...

Anyway, while I like the concept, it seems a bit *too* involved. It was fun to mess around with a bit, but having to click and drag each leg independently became a pain in the ass very quickly.

theres a glitch on the level where u have to jump from platform to platform:D (after the caves) first: once you get to the 2nd platform leave your egg there and jump to the next platform, from on there keep going and the beast will be there your Tri-achnid will say u need ur egg... Ignore him and u can actually climb on to the beast:eek: . on the top of him there is... well, find out for yourselfs;)

I stopped at the green "lake" in the second level. It's a good concept, but I just got bored and tired of it.

U CAN FLY IN THE GAME!!!!!!! easily..

all u have to do is 3 things

1. catch a blue eyeball bird thing
2. put in mouth.. YES THE MOUTH!!
3. use legs and W,S,D,A to fly

have fun :)

Larva Coordinates...

1. the first larva is in the second level. you need to make a web from the two tips of the horns over the water to form a verticle slingshot and then... well its obvious, you slingshot up to a platform above and the larva will be there

2. the second larva is in the fourth level in the caves where you have to dive in to the water, the larva is at the beggining right in front... YOU CANT MISS IT!!;)

3. the third larva is in the fifth level were u have to fight the red eyeball things, the larva is behind a rock on the ceiling in the top right corner

4. the fourth may take a while its int the sixth level ABOVE u, now you cant climb to it because a so called ''pin cushion'' plant thing will be in the way, what you have to do is jump to the next platform and catch a blue eyeball bird thing and use the FLYING TECHNICHUE described above to get past and above the pin cushion and the larva will be there

5. the fifth larva will be in the seventh level near the end of the level, CANT miss it

6. 7. both of these ones will be in the same level these ones kind of complicated as well, what you have to do is climb down, not all the way just till you get enough room to make a web from side to side to place your egg, Now get to the other side CAREFULLY not to pull the sac thing and make a web across that NOW you can pull the sac thing till it turns red and larva will fall from the ceilling

JUST INCASE YOU WONDERING!!!

larva give you goodies in the bestiary and a new minigame:D

i like all of it, exept the egg. that egg is so annoying! i prefer swinging through the level without that egg. i havent even got past the second level because of it! when i try to go up the hill with it, it always slams off the side, rolls over and kills me or knocks me off the side!

if you ask me, the game is totally worth it. Isn't this forum about talking about physics games, not whether you like them or not anyway? i would say that this game has very good physics, being ragdoll, fluid (sort of), Ball, and rope (again sort of).


i play this on my dad's computer, btw, and it runs perfectly fine for me.

yyaaaaaa the egg is annoying:mad: , hopefully in episode 2 it will be a lot more easy to kind of maneuver around and better grip or just no egg at all
