Webbed, an ambrosial platformer most being a spider, is out next month

Spin webs, ride skateboards

I've had one eye on Webbed for a while, because if y'all take your eyes off a spider, that'southward when it scurries away. Instead, it'southward scurried closer: the platformer in which yous play a web-slinging, skateboarding, meridian-lid wearing spider now has a September 9th release. There'southward a new trailer beneath.

Isn't this simply adorable? I'm more excited about this than I am the flash cyberpunk world of Stray. That'due south mostly downwardly to my love of grappling hooks, and spiders being nature'due south grapplers. Information technology seems like y'all'll exist using your spider web to swing, to gain momentum, to drag objects, and to cord webs together to make ad hoc platforms. Ya know, spider stuff.

I like also that you'll be doing some of these things while riding on a skateboard and wearing a acme hat, and using your powers to fix giant antbots. The game's story involves saving your young man from "a big mean bowerbird", and information technology looks like y'all'll be travelling beyond a large globe and collecting powers and collectibles on the journey. The moment when the map appeared on screen in the trailer above immediately fabricated me call up of Yoku'south Island Express, which is only a expert thing.

The game'due south Steam page also mentions that you can dance with other bugs and that some volition help yous. If I can exist a spider who leads an ant army, this will be game of the year.

Webbed will launch on Steam, GOG and Humble next calendar month. Its official site is at webbed.website, and well done for that.
