    Hey NiCOOo, thanks for the feedback ..

    We will almost definitely look at playing with parallaxing the future, as it's definitely a nice effect, and it's very common in 2D games. But the art has to be designed for it from the outset, and we didn't do that for Spider.

    In some levels, like the outside levels (fountain, garden), it would be possible to parallax the background image (the one with the fence). But in most of the other levels, the background art would have to be redesigned to make it work.

    Awesome!!

    Finished the game and unlocked THE achivement on my second playthrough (unfortunately I missed something big in my first playthrough).

    Really incredible game...I really hope to see more in the future from Bryce Manor (or from the Spider in other locations).

    Wonderful experience.
    Really cool even the other game modes, will keep me busy while waiting for more....

    Thanks to Tiger Games for making this game.

    Thanks, for your feedback David!

    You're right, differential scrolling is a nice effect on 2D games, particularly with multi levels scrolling. Most of the Neo Geo pearls use this technic, and the rendering is great (if you add some weather effects, like wind or rain, it's fabulous ^^)

    Recently, Oboro Muramasa on Wii make an extensive use of parallax, with sometimes scrolling in front of the main character: great ambiance ;-)

    Hope you'll maybe be able to do some parallax on the outdoors levels of Spider, and of course we are waiting the futures TigerStyle games. :D

    Hi guys! Thanks for the kind regards. Ragdoll Blaster was a fabulous game that captured my interest for far longer than the average iPhone game. Also, that was an awesome idea you guys had to have a website and a trailer video! Where did you come up with that??

    I didn't realize Paper Toss was by the same people. Definitely will check that one out, too!

    Just noticed that this game has an awesome five to one star ratio.
    149 five star rating and just 2 one star ratings.
    Must be a great game.

    I just wanted to say that when I landed on the thing (person) in the chair I didn't realize what it was until I got to the floor, and then it creeped me out.
    For getting higher scores it seems like the best strategy, though sometimes impossible, would be to build all your webs before you eat a single bug so you can sustain the multiplier. I am going to play back through carefully planning my webs with this in mind.
    The secrets don't affect your score do they?
