WELCOME TO SPIDER BLAST
Hey there, bug blaster!
Our mission was simple: keep it pure, keep it fun, and make a game you’ll keep coming back to again and again.We gave you a clean HUD, easy-to-read colour-coded levels, and some seriously catchy tunes to pump you up.
Just you, your ship, and a whole lot of eight-legged terror! Spider Blast is for everyone, age doesn’t matter. If you can press a button, you can play!
Game Objective
Shoot the spiders before they reach the bottom or slam into your ship!
Kill 7 spidersto summon the Death Widow.
Take her down 4 times to shatter Nightfang’s shield.
Destroy Nightfang 11 times, then face Phantom Bite in the final epic showdown!
When your timer is running low, blast the timer in the right column to steal back precious seconds.
Same for your health, shoot the health pickup to get a quick boost!
But you’d better get back across the level in time to take out those spiders!
Everything is perfectly tuned… every move is a gamble.
On the last level, shoot spiders with the matching coloured bullets to drain Phantom Bite’s shield.
Keep the combo going and strike fast when it drops, if not she will get her shield back.
Sounds easy, right?
ohhhh no!
You’ve got 9 MINUTES to blast your way through the entire invasion.
No health refills. No time extensions. Every move is a gamble!
Game Levels
Progress through the game as the levels get harder and harder.
The levels will change colour based on your progression.
You need to complete all 11 levels.
Level 12 is the final level with a boss.
Destroy her to complete the game.
Get your time and health back by shooting the toggles.
Purchase the game from our shop and become a legend!
The Spiders
Spiders come in different colours and different toughness levels!
On the early levels you’ll face red (2 hits), magenta (3 hits), green (4 hits) and teal (5 hits).
Watch out for the yellow spider, it’s lightning fast and always takes exactly 3 hits.
From level 6 things get tougher: blue spiders need 6 hits and white spiders need a massive 7.
They will cause problems to your tactics :)
But when you hit level 12, everything changes.
Now you must keep killing spiders non-stop to hammer away at the bosses’ shields.
Lose your momentum and the shield will replenish itself, wasting your precious time and ammo.
At level 12, only matching coloured ammo can damage the coloured spider.
You can replenish your ammo supply if you’re smart about it.
Anti-Cheat
Our game also features our newly developed anti-cheat system.
We wanted to introduce something fresh to help prevent cheating.
Our anti-cheat, known as Byte Watch, actively monitors the game while it is running.
It is fully self-contained within the code and was designed specifically for use on real ZX Spectrum hardware.
Unfortunately, when running on a PC without external cross-checking, its capabilities are more limited.
This is only the first phase, and Byte Watch will continue to improve over time.
The goal was taregt the lives feature in this launch for Starball, but as we develop this it will advance.
We wanted to bring something new to the table.
It is important to understand that this system was built for an actual ZX Spectrum tape cassette environment, not for Windows, and not for the endless tools available.
Its all in good fun.
