SPIDERS ARCADE

About the Game

You are Earth's last defense against the spider invasion!  Use your cannon missiles to destroy the ever-growing web and cocoons that hatch deadly attacking spiders!  Make sure to stop their advance and don't let too many pass your defenses or it's game over!


In later battles, avoid the deadly Super Web and shields raining down that protect the invading enemies.  


Advance far enough and you will be visited by the Spider Queen herself!  Are her cryptic gestures and signals a sign of peace or a ominous warning of what is to come?


Do you have the skills to complete all 100 battles and claim your spot in the list of high scores?


GOOD LUCK!
