THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!

The game is very nicely hosted by 20PC, and can be found here: [link]

The game is by Texel; I did the art for it, and the music is by NotACleverPony, who really really nicely offered to put something together for us. In total, it took about 12 hours to make (and 12 hours to sleep on), and this is being posted just shy of 24 hours since Texel said "hey, that would make an awesome game".

Post your high scores! Texel's is 1005. Mine is 400 (I'm, uh, not great at it).

Please Read:

:bulletred: THIS IS NOT A FLASH GAME. I just want to be really really clear about it, because we were going for kind of a Flash-y look, but it's actually done in Unity. Therefore, you can't right-click download or embed it like a Flash file, and so on.
:bulletblack: This game is only guaranteed to run on Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer. It uses a plugin that most of you should already have, but it will prompt you to download if you don't (and it's a small, painless installation that just requires a refresh).
:bulletred: If you are asked to install the Unity Web Player, don't panic. It's a browser plugin that a lot of games use, not some kind of program you have to run the game through. It is literally like being asked to download the Flash plugin to play a Flash game (except it's much smaller, easier, and won't bug you for updates every five minutes). Don't worry, I'm not trying to make you install all kinds of weird software.
:bulletblack: If you're having trouble aiming, here's some tips: you have to move fast (it gets harder to control the longer you aim), and jiggling the cursor gives you more forward speed. The aim beam is an arc -- the spider will land on the blue point, not the top of the arc!
:bulletred: Try aiming at things other than the web itself. See what happens...

Thanks to everybody who came to the livestream! You kept us sane, and inspired some of the more...interesting...spider designs (as well as giving each spider a name and backstory, you guys are nuts). Duke Gentlespider commends you all!
