The game takes place in a vertical world, where the player controls a spider creature, with the ability to fly by spinning a silken thread. The spider, a Hero known as the Flyer, is tasked with navigating a challenging environment filled with obstacles and threats.
To move the Flyer, the player taps the screen to make it jump, glide, and change direction. By spinning and releasing a thread, the spider can travers the air. While controling the Flyer is basic, managing its lifetime thread can be challenging, as it can be broken by obstacles or enemy attacks, leaving the player to re-byte and re-spun the line before it loses too much life.
The objective is to guide the Flyer to the end of each level while navigating through mazes, collecting nourishments that increase its lifespan, while avoiding spiders that could end the Hero's lifetime. The game can be played directly in the browser, requiring no installation or registration. The player's survival is its driving goal, maintaining the life of the Flyer by managing its resources.
