--->If the webGl build doesn't get your keyboard input, try clicking on the white band below the game.
--->The game may lag depending on your hadware and how many silk you launch at once. There is an "optimized" post jam version but the physics is simpler and may behave weirdly.

Spoody is a spider ; an ugly spider, but also a loving one. See this little kid over there ? Well Spoody is making sure he won't be bothered by mosquitoes.
You have to protect the kid for as long as you can. You loose if he is bit more than three times. But take care, launching silk drains spoody's energy. Fortunately eating mosquitoes restores it !
There is also a peaceful mode where you can roam the room as you like, without being bothered by mosquitoes.
wasd to move

Only problems encountered on what was a great game were:
Occasional framerate issues (I assume rope physics, not as bad when I downloaded the game, but bad in web)
All of my runs ended because I fell out the map...
Just an additional feature I would have liked to see how many bugs I had eaten, but that's only a small thing.
Overall very well done, fix the bugs and it would be fantastic!
It doesn't feel like you could lose though (I tried losing, it was really hard because the mosquitoes only move till the edge of the camera, most mosquitoes just hover over the kid) or win for that matter. Might want to implement some kind of win state as well (possibly end of the night?).
I also went through the wall on the left side of the room and spent quite some time under the room. I eventually clipped back through the floor with some web.
Too bad you can't really walk the web but :D
Nice little touch with the peaceful mode.
other than that - cool physics!
The idea is amazing! The music is perfect!
