He will stop at nothing to feast on your eggs, defend them from his relentless army of aquatic robot beasts. IGN: "The best dinosaur spider cyborg game ever created." Touch Arcade: "Velocispider is a ton of fun. The game is gorgeous, in a pixel art and chiptune sort of way. The art is full of character, and that character is super ridiculous. I can't decide if I love the drop sharks (manta rays?) or the bomber whales more."
