Is there going to be an online version? If so, let me know, then i'd like to share it on my game page, if you don't mind.
There are no plans for such version, since the source code (https://github.com/kounch/PDSpiderSG21) is very dependant on Lua and the Playdate SDK (https://sdk.play.date/2.5.0/Inside%20Playdate.html).
This game was a lot of fun. I love the retro "Game & Watch" style, plus it's a good time waiters game too... Keep up the good work!
