Really nice simple game. Mixing it up with random/procedurally generated levels works really well. Good job.

Cool game, I think it's awesome that the level changes each time so there's always some variety :-D Hope you've had an awesome jam and a good time making this!
The labyrinth seems to be procedurally generated and it gives somewhat mixed results. Sometimes it's great and others almost a narrow path, but this is something that could be worked further into an interesting game. It's not always the spider comes into play, but its logic could work well together with other spiders and maybe even a variety with different movement patterns and a bigger map. Overall great and well executed idea!
Had fun playing the game.The maze might need one or two more connections, got trapped the first time without any way to escape the spider.
Nice mazes! Were they procedurally generated or hand crafted?
It could be fun to have collectibles and more spiders (as long as there are ways to avoid them)
Cool game! The procedural maze generation is well done. Kinda feels like you need some luck to make it through.
Nice implementation!
Random generation is a great tool but sometimes it feels too... random. Have you tried adding some rules for the spider position? Sometimes it gets totally away from the player and sometimes it is like in the middle of the way and there is nothing you can do...
Anyway! Nice submission and good job!
Damn that was moreish I couldn't help but keep at it till i won very cool and nicely made well done.
Great use of procedural generation! I like the music, and the squash sound effect was pretty funny. Nice job!
good job. I think the spider could actively try to follow you. I personally found it easy to wait and dodge. Well done with the procedural generation of the map. It was very intuitive how to play
Nice idea - well done. More loops to hide from the spider would be nice - death is inevitable on some levels!
Game so fun and addictive. I'm jealous of your procedural generation of the world. Well made.
The winning panel is a bit lower quality than all the other beautiful assets!
