Webbed is a Platform Game about a jumping spider on an adventure to save her boyfriend after he is kidnapped by a bowerbird.Rather than being centered on action or combat, the game is a physics-based Puzzle Platformer that largely revolves around weaving webs to solve puzzles by creating paths and dragging objects, while also including several optional sidequests, collectables and secrets to find, areas to explore and characters to meet.The game was developed and published by Australian studio Sbug Games and released for PC in September 2021. Ports for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were later released in February 2022. Its page on Steam can be found here, and the game's official website can be found here.

Wolf spiders care for their babies and carry them on their back. When you're the one carrying those babies, they visibly crawl over your character's sprite. note It's unlikely that real-life wolf spiderlings would willingly cling to a spider of a different species, but we'll give it a pass because it looks adorable.

Rule of Cool: The player's spider has inexplicable eye beams, while the ants somehow have the technology to build a proportionately giant ant mech.

comment
The Ground Is Lava: The aptly named "Floor is Lava" achievement is awarded for traveling 20 meters without touching solid ground (webs, twigs and vines are okay). Since the game is played from a spider's perspective, this is actually quite a long distance.

Amicable Ants: The ants seen in the game, in addition to being technologically advanced enough to build machinery such as fuel pumps and furnaces, are friendly towards the spider protagonist and promise to help her save her boyfriend in exchange for help with fixing some of their machines.

Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha!: The game is mostly insect- and nature- themed. Then we have the ants building a Humongous Mecha ant that's massive compared to any of the bugs and is in fact the only thing that can overpower the bowerbird.

Feathered Fiend: The Big Bad is a bowerbird who is portrayed as monstrous. Justified since the main characters are all bugs, and from their point of view, he is not only enormous, but also a predator.

Land Down Under: The game takes place in a fantasy version of Queensland. The Big Bad is a bowerbird, a kind of bird native to Australia known for collecting colorful objects to decorate its nest (as the one in the game does), and the characters frequently use typical Australian expressions such as "G'day".

Shown Their Work: The game's setting is obviously cartoony and semi-fantastical, but there are various bits of real-world biology referenced throughout. Male bowerbirds build elaborate structures and decorate them with colorful objects. The game's "dance" animation is based on jumping spiders' courtship rituals, where they raise a pair of legs and wave them rhythmically. Specifically, the main character and her boyfriend are peacock spiders. The female is mostly gray, while the male has long iridescent hairs on his back. The hide-and-seek champion is a golden silk orb-weaver. This is a family of spiders noted for their webs' yellow-orange tint. Wolf spiders care for their babies and carry them on their back. When you're the one carrying those babies, they visibly crawl over your character's sprite. note It's unlikely that real-life wolf spiderlings would willingly cling to a spider of a different species, but we'll give it a pass because it looks adorable. Bees gather pollen to make royal jelly, and a young larva needs to eat large amounts of jelly to grow into a queen. When that new queen is ready, she leaves the hive to start her own colony elsewhere.
