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.
