spidro

Be a lil spider. Roam the universe on six legs — a tripod gait, the same coupled-oscillator rhythm the field is built on — with your family trailing behind. Walk into a zone to enter it. Arrow keys or WASD; the pad below on touch.

click the world first, then arrow keys / WASD · the pad shows on touch

// how to play

you steer the dark spider. three smaller family spiders follow in a chain. the world is open — no rounds, no score, no end.

move — arrow keys or WASD. on touch, hold a pad button; release to stop. two directions held at once make a diagonal at the same speed. the edges of the world stop you.

zones — walk near a zone's dot and its link appears under the canvas. open zones show enter →; click it to go in. ant towne is the one live zone.

the bee — it crosses the field on its own schedule and cannot be summoned. walk close while it passes and the page will say so.

tip: the bee's odds are about one in seventeen hundred per frame — under a minute on average. stay a while.

the universe — ant towne (construction — stigmergy) is playable. And somewhere out there, a very famous bee — who may exist. present-only · keeps nothing
