A novel platformer that pits Cid, a humble jumping spider of the Phiddipus audax species, against a laboratory full of genetically and cybernetically enhanced bugs. Armed with your hydraulic legs, your silk dragline, and your trusty venomous fangs, you must jump, swing, and eat your way past your own arachnid brethren and other multi-legged monstrosities, all courtesy of Araknotek, Inc. The game will feature tight physics and an incredibly intuitive, minimalistic control scheme optimized for touchscreen devices (and mouse, if that's your thing).

After many months of working late and looking at creepy spider photographs on Wikipedia, I finally feel like I'm ready to plant Jumping Spider on Kickstarter and see if it grows.

Tangled Web End of the Demo

The newly revamped demo level, has been made easier and less bug-prone, and all in all serves as a proof of concept for the game's core mechanics.

Animated Cid

The goal is to raise $20,000, to be used to get me what I need to work on the game from home instead of after hours at the office and to pay down some medical bills so I can make developing the game my second job (or perhaps, if things go insanely well, even my first job), instead of something else.

Sweet and Salty, Minus the Sweet Flies of the Flies

If all goes well, the game will be released in June 2014. So check it out, won't you? If you like the concept please pledge, or at least help spread the word about the project!
