Pretty neat, but the bombardier beetle boss' shooting attack is too spread out, there's no way to dodge it even with the dash. I ended up just ignoring all defensive tactics and shooting the boss blindly. Somehow, it worked.

Also, cute spider.

I love the art style, also the mechanics are fun and overal feels fine, the art is really cool to me, I rate graphics and fun on top but all is great, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!

Very cute, fun and well done, I really liked it <3
So if you can, consider checking out my little game too ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

good work overall! i think some balancing around some mechanics could be worked on to improve the early stages of the game when the player is still learning. love the art style and interactions and would love to see this expanded upon!

i adore the bug theme c: & the variety of upgrades is impressive!


the jump when dashing is abrupt and mildly disorienting. the difficulty is extremely punishing. died after defeating first boss one time. empress ant gets a little laggy. i thought i was going to get to keep my upgrades on ascension u_u

cool entry >:)

Very fun to play and create different builds in each game. I just think the amount of ants that accumulate during the third boss is a bit unfair.

Classic. I love a binding of Isaac style roguelike. Props on the spider legs move animation. If felt super clean and satisfying to run around the rooms.

Love the spider take on the theme!--we incorporated the same idea of spiders spinning webs into our coconut boss's second phase lol

man that second boss is unfair

liked the game though, found myself playing it a bunch of times just cause i wanted to keep going. some items in the shop seem a little expensive so i wasn't able to really make use of the golden ones, like you have to defeat two bosses to even get one of them.

Simple and fun, just how I like it!

The ant queen is not fair though...

Movement is very smooth and combat is engaging. I especially love what you've done with the menus. Simple but fun game!

I love the gameplay and visuals! The solution you used for the restart screen is very cool. I love this kind of imersion! The jump ability could use some animation or some other kind of feedback. I feel like the Spin theme wasn't very present in the gameplay (even though I get the whole web producing organ stuff). All and all, a solid entry! Had a lot of fun playing your game, congratulations to the team!

The game is super fun, I couldn't defeat the third boss because of lag issues but so far I really like it.

WHAT THE, SPIDER GAME?? (look at my submission)

COOL!

Submitted(+1)

Fun, simple and well done. Roguelike good to play (as it always is). Some lag issues, especially in the 3rd boss. Hardware acceleration can solve it, but as I don't use opera, even activated mine continued to lag. Very fun game, and if there was a more polished and larger version, I would definitely play much more

Extremely fun game! Although the theme of Spin isn't fully integrated, it's nonetheless an extremely fun Boss Rush game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! could you elaborate on what you mean by not fully integrated though?

Submitted(+1)

Well, the theme in Boss Rushes usually have an effect on the gameplay itself, so the theme of "Spin" should have had an effect on the gameplay or playstyle of the game instead of just being somewhat of a reference, like you did with Spinnerets. Hope that helps!

Developer

I see. I'll keep that in mind for future game jams, thanks!

Cool
