Reviews for Tri-achnid

Truely Amazing

This is more than a game, this is a work of art! It is completly amazing. I have been playing this game for a day strait. I beat it, played the minigame, played and beat it again. spun webs, found all but one larva.
However, i have a couple complaints:
I found it difficult many times to get the web to stick to a second surface. Maybe there should be a seperate buttun to do that.
At times, i didnt understand how i died. I can understand the hitting the rock to fast. and having large rocks fall on you. but a few times i was killed by my eggsack.. which cunfused me.
A few times, i would try to set the eggsack down, and when i let go of space, it would take off at an amazing speed.

These are my only complaints, and it would be great if you could correct them. as tyedyetruth said, maybe in a downloadable version. I would like that very much. and i wouldnt have to wait for it to load with my unpredictably slow cable.

I really really liked the music! It provoked emotional reactions to the tri-achnid's unfortunate adventures. I have found a liking to Tin Hat Trio's music because of this game, and i would like to know the names of the songs in your game and what album/s they are from. This information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this game! It is truely amazing and is worth playing over and over again. Your contribution to NewGrounds will be cherished for an age.

im addicted...

i found an easier way to collect that pesky last larva. i rembered once that my egg sac fell onto a larva and the larva conviniently went into the sac.
after about what was 45 min trying to 'fly', i put two and two together, and went as close to the spikes near the begining of the platform level and just (lightly)tossed the egg sac at the larva... done!
of corse just in case, before attemting this, make sure to string a web between the first gap just incase the eggsac falls toward the gap.

well thats all! I love the game and i cant wait for a sequel!
heres a thought: Prequel?

Intriguing and Engaging

First of all, the physics and game mechanics are a whole lot of fun. I spent a half hour+ just weaving webs on the first level several time. Secondly, the gameplay was creative and actually thought provoking. It kind of reminds me of Oddworld: Abe's Oddessy for the Playstation. The way you laid levels out with multiple possibilities for acheiving goals was very engaging.

The only frustrating item was the tendency to grab the eggsac from my mouth when trying to string webs. I can't count how many times I was trying to attach the free end of a web to a rock, accidentally grabbed the eggsac, let go of shift and sent it flying off into the horizon.

Speaking personally, I would love to see this in a downloadable format, with maybe a level editor unlocked for beating the game. I would have so much fun designing/playing an empty chamber filled with those fly things, weaving webs. Oh, and speaking of that, it would be interesting if webs could be anchored to other webs.

Really though, I'm not a games designer, and you CLEARLY are, and an adept one at that. Cheers on creating a charismatic character (seriously, I love that spider thing) and an excellent game.

Amazing Game

All I can say is... WOW. This game is incredible, but it could use a few fixes. The framerate is really low, and it seems kinda lame to me that you can hurt your spider by hitting his paw (foot? leg? sticky-clingy-spidey thing?) against a rock too hard. Also, you should really consider taking out the egg sac thing, since it's hard enough getting around the world without having to worry about a bag of your offspring to take care of. Other than those few complaints, this game was perfect. Very original concept, cool creatures, and interesting gameplay. I'd also like to give props to the soundtrack, which is excellent in it's own right. The western kind of music is really haunting, even if it does seem to loop quite a bit. Overall, amazing game, and everyone should play this for at least a few minutes, it's worth your time.

Interesting but quite difficult to pass lvl 2

It seriously needs a tutorial, I think. It takes me about 2-3 hours to discover how to make successfully a "bridge" with the web. So there is may be a lack of ergonomy and a problem of framerate (it runs about 6 frames/s on my 1800Mhz).
