No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Platformer in which you control blob. Stick to the surface or swing your way around like a spider-boi. Level design is mostly good but a bit simplified, it introduces some new elements constantly but it could be better. 90 stages in total and some collectibles to find. Nothing too fancy but it works fine.

It's a lot of fun but I'm not sure if there was a need for so 90 levels when there's enough replay value as is...
Q from the JokersRecommendedafter 3.0hDec 2025Read on Steam
Anyone who walks up to me and says this game isnt the most fun thing since spinning a ruler on the end of a pencil is nothing but dirt and mud in human "skin". This game rules, incredibly addictive and fun physics based platformer that should satisfy any fan of either spiderman or fun.
