Similarly, nearby explosions will greatly knock back the spider if they’re not within the blast itself. Same goes for aiming a gun, and pulling the trigger actually results in the spider being blown back from the recoil, because obviously, it’s a tiny spider with a massive gun. As you bring up your particle sword to parry, the resulting strike will blow both swords and spiders back a little, and it takes time to bring the sword up back to position. SpiderHeck is on a physics-based engine, which has implications on every action that the player takes. Best lightsaber mechanics? I meant the best grappling hook mechanics For that matter, all weapons have limited use-swords have durability, guns have ammo, and explosives blow up-so you’ll be constantly swapping weapons anyway. Weapons constantly spawn on the battlefield, and it’s easy to chuck one weapon to pick up another. I’m the sort of guy that will pick up a particle sword in most circumstances, but sometimes a square peg just needs a round hole, and the best way to make a round hole is a bullet. Also, this is the type of game where you’ll wonder, “will that kill me?” and SpiderHeck responds with an enthusiastic “Yes!” as your own free-flying spinning sawblade eviscerates you, so players must be extra cautious of spidercide. And yet, all guns have their specific strengths and weaknesses, especially the higher caliber guns which cause insane recoil, so there’s decent balance between sword and gun. Or a rocket launcher that shoots five rockets at once. There are the classic archetypes, such as shotguns, revolvers, or rifles, but there are also some more creative designs, such as a laser gun that takes several seconds to charge up, but hits everything in a line regardless of any terrain. SpiderHeck also features a wide array of guns and explosives, including RPG-type weapons. ![]() Particle swords can also reflect most gun projectiles back to sender, furthering the spider-Jedi image, or perhaps opening up potential for Spider-Laser-Tennis in the future. It’s entirely possible to have legitimate sword fights, as the weapons all have weight and momentum, and all weapons are able to parry sword strikes as they clash. Not only are there various base forms, such as a regular saber style or elongated spear style versus a Darth Maul dual saber type, but each particle sword that spawns can have differing stats for its length and width, meaning that one lucky spider could end up with a bona fide Buster Sword. And if you don’t feel like shooting laser swords, you can always just chuck yours, then recall it Force-style to stab your enemies in the back.Īs far as the lightsabers themselves go, or particle swords as they are known in SpiderHeck, there’s a decent enough variety of them that they’ll always feel fresh. SpiderHeck has swords, guns, and explosives, with many guns and explosives featuring pretty radical designs. ![]() And that’s about the extent of creativity for weapons, though that still sets the bar pretty high. ![]() Yes, there are lightsaber crossbows that fire whole-ass lightsabers that can be picked up after you completely miss your target point blank. Laser swords, laser guns, and crossbows that shoot laser swords Additionally, SpiderHeck is currently available on release for free for the release weekend until September 26th, 2022.

Everyone knows that the kid who spins their pen in their hand is the coolest kid in school, and now you’ll be here spinning your lightsabers. All wrapped in a modern Unity package with physics, an OST jam packed with absolute bangers by Professor Kliq, and a bold electrifying aesthetic.īut above it all, it’s just cool. SpiderHeck hits with some serious nostalgia for the halcyon days of Stick Fight and Xiao Xiao 3 Flash videos, crossed with some inspiration from the flashiest of Jedi lightsaber fighting techniques.
