Games that involve you playing as an animal is not very new these days. But have you ever played as a spider in a video game? And not just any regular spider either. A spider with laser swords.
Yes, you read that right.
Here's what you should know about today's #SteamSpotlight feature, SpiderHeck.
#SteamSpotlight Feature: SpiderHeck
Released on September 22, 2022, SpiderHeck is developed by Neverjam and published by tinyBuild. It is a local multiplayer 2D fighter game that lets you and your friends play as spiders with laser swords.
What you have to do is, quite simply, survive and be the last spider standing. You can choose to play alone and face waves of enemies. If that's not really your thing, you can team up with your friends to beat the enemies. You can even challenge your friends to duels if you want to.

Next Level Physics
Since you'll be playing as a spider, you might be expecting that all you can do is to swing from webs. That's not exactly the case in SpiderHeck.
In fact, there's a lot of cool parkour moves in this game. You can push off of your opponent, do somersaults, and wiggle your way out of dangerous spots. You can even swing your laser sword a full 360 degrees.
