The controls on this were rock solid.

Everything that is in just worked and it was lots of fun to play.

Was there any waves passed the 6th or 7th?

It locked up on me around there.

Aww man, sorry about that. Glad you still enjoyed it! It goes up to 20 waves, but there's just the two enemy types for the entire game so other than a bit of chaos you probably got a good feel for it.

It was refreshing to have to Spider-Man around the environment as well as just "shoot the waves of bad guys". Nice aesthetic too, like a game adaption of a cartoon made to sell a toy line (in a good way). 

Though I was confused as to how I could be shooting behind me, over my own shoulder, with nothing in terms of animation or VFX (that I could see) to tell me how that was happening :P

Developer

Ha, aww man. I guess it's too hard to see with the low resolution but the shoulder weapons actually do swivel around you while you're aiming!

Holy cow this is great. I played it for a good 10 minutes (right after jam submission too, so extra hard to keep me around haha). Good visuals, good mechanics, really well composed. My two bits of constructive feedback: 

  1.  Coming to a complete stop when landing from a jump is unpleasant. Would be nice to keep some forward momentum.
  2. I feel like I have to run a lot and there's not much to do while running across town. I would jump to entertain myself, but jumping slows me down (see 1).

Final note: The jetpack felt amazing. Having the player use the jetpack to grab "stuff" on the path to the next wave of enemies could help fill the gap of action.
