Me during the first two stages: Okay, this isn't so hard! Me during stage 4: NNNNNNGGGGHHH
Really nice use of the spider theming in a way that feels mechanically substantial rather than gimmicky. I especially like growing your web to expand yer territory in the midst of everything else.
I did put plenty of thought in how to use the unique qualities of a spider and its web into the game. It’s cool to see someone else appreciates that. :)
As for the difficulty spike… Well beyond the time constraints I had for the jam, I think a spider would want to lure its victim in slowly but surely, giving them just enough confidence to move forward, deeper and deeper into the spider’s lair, until the only thing left is CERTAIN DOOM.

Thanks for the kind words, Alex!

Heheh, I like the thematic explanation for the difficulty spike! To be fair, I think Bloodjak II's difficulty curve has a similar shape, FWIW.
