Enjoyed the day/night cycle, but boy was it dark in the night!
Nice sound effects, that attack sound was really effective, gave me gooseprickles without even needing to see the spider. The artwork is enchanting too, nice job!
I really like this wish you were able to do more. The GUI in corner look great. And audio is on point.
Honestly, I probably would have had less fun with it if the attack wasn't completely unlimited. The fact I could mash to fling the spider around the screen like a psycho actually made it more fun.
I really like the graphics and audio, I would love to see the mechanics and gameplay expanded upon in the future!
Graphics are great, definitely a good idea, just needs more content, and smoother controls.
Juicy controls & nice music. Game got a bit dull when I ran out of snails though. Nice work :)
Enjoyed the snail eating. Shame there wasn't more game.
great game - I really hope you'll continue working on it. I would love to play that.
the art and mood of the game is perfect
well done
That's a dark night. Game looks nice and interesting. Shame there's no more content and possibilities. Other than that - great job!
Great concept, and well done assists, as others have expressed, the only thing lacking a little mechanics and control polishing and some more content. Well done.
I really like the somber music, and the sound effects are really creepycrawly. Nice UI elements! The collision felt a little rough as the spider got stuck on the walls.
Maybe the level is a little simple layout-wise, but overall nice work and nice graphics!
This is pretty good for a first-time LD! Loved the creepy movement and sounds of the spider paired with the music box-type music.
Great effort. Nice art and fun to attack things. Like others said above, more to do and smoothing out bumping into walls etc would help a lot. Keep going!
Some awesome graphics and chilling music, I like the idea. Keep working on it to make it even better! :D
I like the atmosphere, time-day loop and how spider's eyes glow in the dark. Bit of gentle lightning would have great impact on mood. But,... what happens when munch all the snals? I'd love to play a bit longer :)
Great graphics. Great job on your first attempt at music, sounds great! Movement/collisions were a little sticky, but no biggie.
Great sound and graphics. Animation looks good too. The UI works well. Supporting day/night is an old school RPG element that can be used effectively.
Woefully too short but I like the concept. I love how the lighting changes for the day/night cycle (although the ambient light during the night could be a bit brighter) but it seems to lack extra content.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
This game looks like it had (a lot of) potential. Right now it feels empty and incomplete, and the control and scrolling feels jump and inconsistent. Maybe pull it out and enter the Jam after more work? Love the graphics, by the way.
