Spiderbite 2 is Here!

Finally! Early Access is available for Spiderbite 2! It's not perfect, there's bound to be a few bugs here and there (get it? Because it's a game themed around bugs? Get it?), but I think that opening up Spiderbite 2 to the public a little early is a  great idea. If there's anything fundamentally gamebreaking that I've somehow overlooked, I can rely on the glorious internet to supply me with the much needed, deep, crippling criticism that I require to function as a game developer.

I hope everyone enjoys the relentless massacre of virtual flies!

Hi Monsterbat, I'm glad that you've put up the sequel to the Spiderbite game.Here is some feedback for you to work with:

- First off, I'm not able to view the whole Start Menu in my laptop despite Maximising the screen. Perhaps you could include an option for the players to change the resolution/size of the screen for the game?

- Only two menus can be exited by pressing the Escape button, such as the 'How to Play' and 'Upgrades' menus.

- When I press the arrow keys while playing the game, I am unable to move around (but the spider does shoot bullets, so that's good).

- I chose the Ranger, but the spider ends up being almost camouflaged instead of standing out from the brown background; this probably has to do with my clicking here and there in the Fashion menu.

All in all, I like the game, but would like to be able to play more of it while having the whole screen visible to me :)

Also, after shooting down one fly, the spider runs out of ammo and ends up dying after the next fly hits it :(

Thanks for pointing these out! I'll address your points in the order you presented them to me.

  • I'll work on including a full-screen option either in the next update or the one after. It's important, so thank you for drawing my attention to it.
  • I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you say only two menus are accessible via the Escape button. The main menu and the menus it connects to should all be accessible by clicking on them, and pressing escape should either return you to the main menu or the rewards screen.
  • Holy crap, not being able to move is terrible! I believe I may have fixed the problem, I'll push out another update tonight and try to test it in the morning.
  • I have a pretty good idea I know whats causing the problem with the spider being camouflaged. I created a skin called "smolder", and it appears to be a bit hard to see. I'm currently replacing it with a somewhat more boring, but easier to see skin.

Thanks again for telling me about these problems!

Hi Monsterbat, I was glad to help :)

I'll have a go at your updated game soon, and let you know my feedback. As for your pointers to my previous message:
- I'll check out your update to note on this improvement
- By that, I meant that I can access all the Menus, but I can only move back to the Start Menu from two of those menus (after having clicked on them first to enter those menus) by pressing the Escape button
- I'll try the game movement again in a bit in your updated version of the game
- Hopefully the spider is more visible to me when I next play the game :p
- To clarify on the 'limited ammo' scenario, I was able to fire bullets everywhere at first, but one I destroyed one fly, I couldn't shoot anymore bullets, so the next fly whacked me :(

Do let me know if I explained my feedback better to you :)
