A novel platformer that pits Cid, a humble jumping spider of the Phiddipus audax species, against a laboratory full of genetically and cybernetically enhanced bugs. Armed with your hydraulic legs, your silk dragline, and your trusty venomous fangs, you must jump, swing, and eat your way past your own arachnid brethren and other multi-legged monstrosities, all courtesy of Araknotek, Inc. The game will feature tight physics and an incredibly intuitive, minimalistic control scheme optimized for touchscreen devices (and mouse, if that's your thing).
This isn't just a made-up game mechanic. Some jumping spiders actually do this to catch prey.
The game has a shortcut to set up for this kind of jump. Double-click where you want to set your silk line, drag to where you want to start your jump, and release.
The mobile version may have a choice between a double-tap and drag or a multitouch: touch and hold where you want to set your line, then touch the spot you want to retreat to.
