Prototype for spider simulation
Laser Spider Playground is a prototype of a casual game that features a spider with laser eyes. It involves building webs, picking up acorns and killing flies. It was published by the developer and received positive feedback from users.
A sweet minigameSbug, the game's developer, might be familiar to you from their multiplayer creation STAB STAB STAB! They're now releasing a charming, less scary game, but no publication date has been announced.
The game's design suggests that it won't be as plot- and mechanics-oriented. It looks like the game will focus on small, de-stressing games such as VR Physics Playground or PowerWash Simulator.
GameplayThe developer explained that the prototype was still in its early stages and had many bugs. There is no clear goal. It still displays the concept well and is a lot of fun.
The controls are easy to use and require only your keyboard or mouse. You can create webs, jump over them, and grapple.
Although web building can be difficult to understand, it is possible with a little trial-and-error. The laser that you can shoot from the eyes is the most exciting. It will stun flies and break webs when activated.
You can make the game more difficult by walking forward until you come across a large red button. Every time you jump on it, a new fly is released into the air.
GraphicsThe design is cartoonish, bright, and simple. Although the elements on your screen look hand-drawn they still feel real. The spider will move as you move. It will also wobble and swing on the web with modern video game smoothness.
Relaxed and down-to-earthLaser Spider Playground promises a lighthearted, fun game that will help you relax. Although it doesn't have the potential for global recognition, it's not aiming to. It can be played for several minutes at once and makes you smile.
