Spiders Everywhere

⠀

Spiders Everywhere operates as a highly challenging 2D side-scrolling action platformer that attempts to mask its radical mechanical instability under a meticulously executed vintage rubberhose cartoon aesthetic. Developed by Soju and Ink, the design doctrine deliberately bypasses modern asset production suites or deep progression matrices, shifting its entire operational focus toward a compressed nightmare sequence featuring the avatar, Lil Baby Poop, navigating a hostile arachnid-infested layout. From a visual standpoint, the hand-drawn grayscale assets and accompanying old-school jazz tracking successfully achieve a baseline of nostalgic immersion, mimicking pre-technicolor animation paradigms.However, behind this polished artistic facade, the architectural core reveals severe structural constraints and erratic physics modeling that drastically undermine the title's mechanical integrity. The operational loop is confined to just two compact levels where the operator must navigate a high-risk environment populated by randomly positioned arachnid nodes with varying speed scales. The primary failure of the game design lies in its uncalibrated control mechanics: the avatar suffers fr…

Steam is drowning in thousands of lazy, low-effort 2D platformers, and "Spiders Everywhere" is yet another one. I'm not kidding, there's over 17,000 platformers on Steam, almost all of them are garbage, amateur kitbashes. This is not one of the good ones. This is an unusual retro-art platformer (and I mean REAL retro art, not pixelcrap) in a similar era style to Bendy and the Ink Machine, and the artwork itself comes across as fully authentic. Unfortunately the gameplay doesn't match... this is of course as the title suggests, a platformer that adopts early 20th century animated film cartoon artwork. You control a baby and you have to platform around some spiders. Okay! This feels like a case of an artist doing the whole game... the art is passable but the rest of the game isn't (usually it's the other way around and developers who can't do art try to do the art anyway and we get pixelcrap). Unfortunately the platforming gameplay is just jank, with poor hitboxes, poor overall gameplay and a bit of headscratching because beyond the okayish, authentic looking art, there's not much reason to put yourself through playing this. Ultimately, artwork aside, this is a tired, outdat…
