where you play as a spider. this was vaguely inspired by the name of a tool i had to use for work today lol

so imagine, you're a spider. you've got yourself a nice tower of bricks or something.
and then this JERK comes along and tosses a THING at your brick tower!
so instead of succumbing to despair you reinforce the tower with webs!

i reckon the basic idea of the physics puzzle would fit pretty well, assuming the kind of "rope" based joints you'd use to secure everything are actually capable of
yknow.
securing anything.

i imagine each level would have a set tower and a set incoming-projectile trajectory (perhaps more than one) and that sounds like plenty enough room to make a good few levels.

...i wonder if anyone's done something like this before?
"reverse angry birds" sounds like a really easy concept to come up with, what with angry birds being so popular.

edit: oh and of course just like angry birds you'd have a limited number of threads with several different "special abilities" and maybe different strength/stretchyness values

hey, sorry to leave an unrelated comment but since your askbox isn't open and idk how much you look at tumblr i thought i'd reach out here to see if you'd like to maybe add each other on discord. your worldbuilding and stories and designs kick ass and i'd love to learn more about them, and share thoughts and hang out if you would like, though i understand if not. hope you have a good one ^^

hey, thanks! likewise, i've enjoyed seeing your posts around.
sad to say i've been running very low on social bandwidth recently, i don't think catching up on discord is gonna work well for me.

this place was really the lowest-friction "simply existing" spot for me and i'm not sure how i'm going to replace it. i'll definitely be trying my best to keep sharing elsewhere, but between tumblr's slowly increasing friction and bluesky's character limit (not to mention everything that comes with trying to start my own website) it'll probably take me a while to find my footing again.

my main goal right now is just making sure i'm as findable as possible til i figure out where to go next, and if i can, customizing the places i do use to be as painless as possible.
