  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Alien Spidy" is marred by unresponsive controls and a frustrating web shooting mechanic that requires players to cap their frame rate at 60 fps for optimal performance. While the game features charming visuals and some engaging elements like power-ups, the overall experience is hindered by delayed mechanics and a lack of intuitive design, making it difficult for players to enjoy the core gameplay.

    • “The core design of a good game, say for instance, Super Mario or Sonic the Hedgehog, is to start the game off blaringly easy so players have a decent time getting the hang of the controls and getting used to the gameplay mechanics.”
    • “The main mechanic of this game is shooting your webs in mid-air to attach to tiny platforms, using your momentum to throw you across gaps and obstacles.”
    • “The cute spider characters and completing a level section perfectly, along with power-ups, vary the gameplay.”
    • “This game, however, is one of the worst games I have played so far due to the delayed mechanics of the game itself.”
    • “Despite its gorgeous visuals and adorable art style, stubborn controls and an atrocious web shooting mechanic make Alien Spidy the most frustrating game of 2014, and not in a good way.”
    • “The unresponsive controls of this game can really bog down the gameplay experience.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their beauty and charming art style, contributing to an overall appealing visual experience. However, some players find the sound effects and soundtrack less enjoyable, and there are criticisms regarding gameplay mechanics that detract from the visual enjoyment. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, with smooth performance even on lower-end hardware.

    • “This is a beautiful game with nice graphics, a great art style, and very catchy music.”
    • “It has wonderful artwork and runs flawlessly on even my laptop, which struggles with most things.”
    • “Graphics, sound, and the little moves the spider character performs for the end-of-level theatrics are acceptable, and I could get by with those alone in a normal game.”
    • “The graphics are underwhelming and lack the detail expected in modern games.”
    • “The character models look outdated and don't match the quality of the environments.”
    • “The overall visual presentation feels bland and uninspired.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for being catchy and enhancing the overall experience, although some users find the soundtrack and sound effects to be somewhat grating. Overall, the game's audio complements its beautiful graphics and art style, contributing positively to the gameplay.

    • “This is a beautiful game with nice graphics, a great art style, and very catchy music.”
    • “Bit confusing controls (hard to master) mouse+keyboard platformer, but besides that, it's a really good game with cool music!”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, as they must repeatedly start from save points and collect the same items after each death, despite appreciating the infinite continues feature.

    • “The infinite continues from save points feature is nice and works, but having to start back from where I just was every time I die and having to collect all the same items again and again is not fun; it's tedious and frustrating.”
    • “Grinding feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the game. It takes away from the overall experience.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding makes the game feel more like a job than a source of entertainment.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the game's web-physics exhibit instability, causing the character to jitter and lose momentum unexpectedly when connecting webs. This issue detracts from the overall gameplay experience.

    • “The web physics are a little buggy; every time the web connects, Spidey jitters around weirdly and loses momentum for no reason.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing progress.”
    • “I experienced constant frame drops and stuttering, which ruined the overall gameplay experience.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by the unexpected and harsh consequence of touching a seemingly innocuous mushroom, which evokes feelings of frustration and surprise in players. This mechanic serves to create a sense of vulnerability and heightens the emotional stakes within the gameplay experience.
