I played it and like the idea, but I had a lot of trouble getting it to grab the webs. I'd hit it a dozen times before it'd finally shoot a web.

As with Phaelax, I like the idea, but it has a couple of problems:
Shooting the web doesn't work every time (is there a reason for this? If so, you'll need to let users know why )
If you fix the web shooting, then the game would be quite easy, so level complexity would need to be increased

The gameplay has the potential to be really, really good But as it stands, it's more like average
Actually, I had been considering making a similar game as a competition entry, but never got around to it

Thanks guys.

It is all about timing, the thread always shoots at a 45 degree angle and if you time it wrong then you missed. I was going for flappy bird difficulty and frustration

The fact that people think the game is broken somehow is a problem, there is a click sound when you miss but I think it gets drowned out in the music(drums).

I will change the click sound so it is more audible, which should help. Thanks for the input

Those are some lovely graphics! To disperse any confusion over controls, consider including a simple graphic on the title screen to illustrate when the web must be shot without being too early or too late. Good luck! (I was not able to enter this competition, too busy of a schedule lately).

This is great, I love how he recoils back! Although as I play all my games on silent the click won't work for me. Why not just always shoot the thread (visually) and if you miss, then well, you miss... Simple as that.

Thanks everyone. I am no artist but have bought some tools recently and I am improving.

The thread now fires and misses giving a visual clue, good advice from my fellow forum folk, thanks

I plan to release free on ios very soon if you want to try the improved version, I will post here when it is released.

Matty H, are you going to put this on the Google Play store too? If you managed to get this on iOS, you'll have absolutely no problems getting it on GP... Submitting apps to GP is a doddle in comparison...

Yes, I will do Android version next. I have always had some trouble building for Android but never really spent too much time getting it setup.

Does anyone know what the best up to date guide for tier 2 Android distribution is? I know there are a few going around on here but it's been a while since I last looked at them, thanks.
