## What is Tarantula vs Snake?

Do you remember classic games like Qix, JezzBall, Styx, or Xonix? Or maybe you're a fan of arcade games that require a strategic approach? If so, you've come to the right place.

During the game the player controls the spider. On each level the goal is to create a sufficiently large spider web. However, this task is not easy because the hungry snake is just waiting for an opportunity to eat the spider.

The game offers an infinite number of increasingly challenging levels, allowing you to enjoy hours of gameplay. A global leaderboard lets you compare your scores with friends. You can also join forces in two-player mode and play on one device, working as a team to defeat the snake that stands in your way.

### 5/5 — 好玩

好玩爱玩

### 4/5 — Its kinda hard…

*2024-07-26*

I like this game. I’ve only had it for a few days but it’s cool, I think. I’m just having a really hard time controlling the spider. I’ll try to get it to move and I’ll end up going to a whole other page on my phone. Maybe it just takes time to learn how but I wish there were other ways to get the spider to move or maybe have an option to change how you control it.  I’ve seen how many apps the developer has created so he’s obviously got experience with these things. Maybe sometime in the near future he can come up with other options. 
Other than that, though, I think the game’s cute and I like it.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2024-01-08*

This game is fun and challenging I like how the levels get harder and harder and it’s not even close to being as bad as the rip off fruit clinic game and this game you’re not forced to do certain things

### 1/5 — Hate it

### 5/5 — Super, Tolles einfaches Spielprinzip

*2022-07-24*

Dieses Spiel habe ich schon lange gesucht. Spinne gegen Schlange. Ich kenne es von früher. Vielleicht könnte man ja weitere Levels oder andere Einstellungen einbauen… Die Grafik ist toll. Retro macht Spaß

### 5/5 — good game

*2022-02-19*

i mean what is not to like about this game it’s a nice game very simple of a spider trying to make a web without being eaten

### 1/5 — ?!?!?!?

*2019-12-07*

This is just confusing to me idk what this is because it says that THE PLAYER controls the tarantula but YOU don’t so just a warning! ⚠️

### 4/5 — ses bien

*2016-01-16*

Ses trop cool un Probleme sa marche avec des touche

### 4/5 — Dämlich Und doch gut

*2015-10-10*

So einfach so genial. Leider beim Minimum stehen geblieben. Es fehlen wichtige Features wie extra leben, Special items, levelauswahl, Upgrades - also nette Idee aber absolut ausbaufähig!
