I’ll make a blob version of all the spiders in the game, and just add a toggle in the menu where you can toggle between spider mode and blob mode.” I’ve tried the blob mode out myself and, while I don’t personally have a problem with the cute default spiders, the blobs bouncing around are also undeniably adorable. Thankfully, Riley explained how Webbed includes a clever workaround in its accessibility features “At first I think my main goal was just make it as cute as possible, but even still, even with it being quite a cute spider, we still got some messages on social media saying like ‘this looks adorable but I’m just too afraid of spiders to play this game… it wasn’t really that hard to add an option at that point, so once we’d had a couple of messages like that I just figured, like, I’ll spend a day. I’ve bought big books of the most documented spiders in Australia and love to take pictures of them in my back yard.” Of course, players with arachnophobia aren’t going to be as ready to welcome spiders into their gaming time.

Noah, who has already brought spiders to gaming in their earlier indie title A Mess of Legs, explained their love for the little creatures “I just kind of keep falling down the rabbit hole further and further.
