How to Play

BASIC CONTROLS

Drag your finger (or mouse on web) to move your character — a glowing red orb — along the white border of the arena.

Safe Mode: While on the border, you are safe from spiders.
Drawing Mode: Step off the border into the dark unclaimed area to start drawing a line.
Capture: Connect your line back to any border or claimed area to capture the enclosed territory.
Auto-Retract: If you lift your finger while drawing, your character automatically retraces the trail back to safety at high speed.

OBJECTIVE

Capture the required percentage of the arena to complete each level.

World 1: Capture 75% of the arena (70% on boss levels)
World 2: Capture 78%
World 3+: Capture 80%

You start with 3 lives per level. Lose all lives and it's game over.

WHAT KILLS YOU

Touching a spider while in Drawing Mode
Running into a spider web
Your trail decaying completely (World 2+)

Crossing your own trail does not kill you — it cancels the trail and snaps you back to the border.

ENEMY TYPES

Spider	Unlocks	Behavior
Normal	Level 1	Roams the unclaimed area. Hunts your trail aggressively when you draw.
Ghost	Level 6	Semi-transparent. Can pass through borders and claimed areas. Immune to Freeze.
Teleport	Level 12	Teleports to a random location every 4-6 seconds. Watch for the shake warning!
Splitting	Level 16	Splits into 2 smaller spiders when caught inside a captured area.
Invisible	Level 21	Cycles between visible (2s) and invisible (3s). Only a faint shimmer reveals it.
Mini	Level 5	Small but fast. Patrols the border — dangerous even in Safe Mode.
Boss	Every 5th level	3x size, HP bar, charge attacks, enrage below 50% HP. Escort spiders included.

Spider Webs — Spiders periodically place webs in the arena (from Level 2). Touching a web or drawing your trail through one kills you. Webs blink before disappearing.

POWER-UPS

Glowing potion bottles appear in the unclaimed area every ~20 seconds. Enter Drawing Mode near one to collect it. Only one exists at a time.

Power-Up	Unlocks	Duration	Effect
Speed Boost	Level 1	5s	2x movement speed
Shield	Level 3	3s	Absorbs one hit while drawing
Freeze	Level 6	2s	All spiders stop (Ghost immune)
Lightning	Level 8	3s	Stuns nearest spiders
Bomb	Level 20	Instant	Instantly claims area around pickup point
Radar	Level 25	10s	Reveals invisible spiders with a green outline
Slow Time	Level 30	5s	All spiders move at 50% speed

SCORING

Each area capture earns score based on the percentage captured in one move:

Capture Size	Rating	Multiplier
< 10%	Normal	1.0x
≥ 10%	GOOD	1.5x
≥ 15%	GREAT	2.0x
≥ 20%	EXCELLENT	2.5x
≥ 30%	INCREDIBLE	3.0x

Bonus points awarded at level end for remaining time and lives.

TRAIL DECAY (WORLD 2+)

Starting in World 2, your trail has a time limit. Trail cells decay from the oldest end. If the entire trail decays while you're drawing, you die.

World 2: 5-8 seconds per cell
World 3: 4-5 seconds per cell
World 4+: 3.5-4 seconds per cell

The Freeze power-up pauses trail decay. Boss levels have no trail decay.

TIPS & STRATEGIES

💡

Capture small areas frequently instead of going for one big capture. Smaller moves are safer.

👁

Watch spider movement patterns before drawing your line. Timing is everything.

⚡

Use power-ups strategically — save them for tough situations instead of using them immediately.

☝

Lift your finger to auto-retract. If a spider is heading toward your trail, release to safely retrace your steps.
