What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Greedy Spiders is an extremely challenging puzzle game in which players tap the screen to strategically break the strands of a spider web in order to free trapped bugs before hungry spiders can reach them. Graphics are bright and cartoonish, and other than an opening scene in a bug "bar," there's no graphic or objectionable content. 

  • Ease of use3
    The concept is simple, but levels become increasingly complex and challenging. In later levels, players can zoom in on parts of the web, and must tap with a certain degree of precision to remove the correct strand.
  • Violence0
    It's implied that the bugs get eaten if the spider reaches them, but nothing graphic is actually shown.
  • Sex0

  • Language0

  • Consumerism1
    The game's main menu includes a link to the developer's Facebook page.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking1
    The opening video cut scene takes place in a bar, where bugs are shown drinking beverages that look like beer and cocktails.
  • Privacy & safety0

Is it any good?

 

GREEDY SPIDERS has a cartoonish feel, but later levels become fiendishly tough -- especially when twists like more spiders, decoys, and flame power-ups are added into the mix. The game has that addictive quality that all good puzzle games have, but nevertheless it doesn't quite have the universal appeal of smash hit apps like Angry Birds or Cut the Rope, whose difficulty levels are a little more forgiving.
