Web Spinner

My 64-bit, windows 7 professional computer says that the game is "not a valid 32X file". All the best looking games are the ones that won't run D:

I'm using windows 10 x64 bit and it wouldn't run on my machine either. http://i.imgur.com/v5c2yOv.png

Another windows 7 professional 64-bit user that cannot play the game. I was paying attention to your updates and was looking forward to playing your game! Hope you can resolve the issue so we can better appreciate your efforts!

I couldn't run this game on my pc. I had windows 8.1 if that helps.

I ran it just fine :)

Very cool idea, I thought it was really unique. It's a little hard to tell what will catch a fly and what wont, so I didn't do so well, but I thought it was very well implemented nonetheless.

For those who can't run this: Download compressed zip! Single runtime and installer are 0 bytes files. Tested on Win8 64-bit. Author may want to fix this.

I liked the idea very much. You also got 5* in innovation from me. Couldn't get to the fly most of the times though. Graphics were adequate, but not much catchy either.

Wont run on 64bit machine

The link is broken, but by typing http://www.arendpeter.com/Games/WebSpinner without the .exe part I found it.

The game is fun, original and challenging! The first time I did not reinforce some outer areas and ended up with a smaller web too fast.
Sometimes when there are too many paths the spider remains stuck, unable to choose any of the paths except going backwards.
On my last try I got a score of 287, then the game crashed ^^'

I loved the game and it really fit the theme. However, I use game maker too and I know how annoying the errors are, I got one during mid game, ill paste it now :)

Got the following area when trying to plant a bit of web (or maybe it's cause I got a bit too hungry):

Before then I didn't really know what I was doing. I placed several web strands but only caught one fly. Other flies went straight through. Not sure exactly what you do to catch them.

Nice entry, though the controls are a bit funky... I'm having a hard time moving where I want to go.

I really liked this game :) have been a subscriber of yours on youtube for a long time now and was quite exited to see that you had also participated. I liked the mechanic however unfortunately I received this crash (the same crash as the person earlier):

I had a crash after a little while when trying to place a web, I might have clicked off the screen?

But before that, this was excellent! I've never seen a game like this before. Great idea! Very satisfying to play.

Great job!

Pretty innovative mechanics, like both the gameplay and graphics. Controls are fine with me, though first time I died while only getting used to the game's feel, I'd increase first session's time limit.

Gameplay is interesting but controls should be more worked.

Loved it from your timelapse! So I tried it and it's super innovative! Just be a spider and hunt the flies :) Good job!
