This is a cute one. The environments are pleasant to explore with some neat little puzzles to solve. The camera can be a bit of a struggle and I do think that it could've used some slightly faster movement, but it's still an enjoyable game. It's all over remarkably fast, but Spyder is fun while it lasts!

Secret Agent Chibi Robo, except it's episodic and the game gives you waaaay too much help. Stop telling me where to go and what to do! The game would be 100x better if you could play without the checkpoint icons and task indicator. Such a simple fix too. I'm going to play a bit more and see if it starts backing off on the hand-holding, but I have a feeling it won't.

Update: nope. Eyewateringly linear. You go to the place the marker tells you, press the button the game tells you, rinse, repeat. What a waste of a cool concept. Not worth playing.
