About SpiderHeck
SpiderHeck is a fast‑paced, physics‑driven brawler where a single hit ends a match. Players swing, crawl, and run on ceilings using web‑based movement that rewards precise timing and daring tricks.
The game ships with 55 maps, a level editor, and both versus and co‑op modes. It supports online play, split‑screen, and full controller use, and integrates Steam Workshop for community‑made arenas.
01 / THE GUIDE
One‑Hit Death Combat
Every encounter ends with instant death: one wrong move and you are out. The 25 weapons can harm you as much as they can harm opponents, so positioning is critical.
Because each strike is lethal, players must rely on the game’s physics to dodge, swing, and time attacks. Mastery of movement and weapon reach turns each battle into a high‑risk duel.
- Try a low‑risk map to feel each weapon’s reach before jumping into tighter arenas.
- Observe opponent movement patterns to anticipate lethal swings.
02 / THE GUIDE
Web Swinging & Wall Crawling
Players can run on ceilings and accelerate using physics‑based web swinging, adding verticality to fights. This movement blends parkour with combat, letting you approach enemies from unexpected angles.
Wall crawling and ceiling runs are useful for both offense and evasion, especially on maps that feature obstacles or hazards that can be used strategically.
- Use ceiling routes to bypass ground‑level hazards.
- Combine wall crawling with quick swings to surprise opponents.

Maps and Steam Workshop
The base game includes 55 maps that contain various physics obstacles and hazards, keeping each fight fresh. Maps range from simple arenas to complex courses with moving parts.
Additional maps can be downloaded from the Steam Workshop, expanding the pool of arenas. Community‑created maps often introduce new challenges that require tactical adaptation.
- Explore Workshop maps to find environments that suit your play style.
- Rotate through different map types to improve adaptability.

Versus and Co‑op Multiplayer
SpiderHeck offers versus battles against friends or random players and co‑op waves where you and teammates fend off enemies while trying to avoid friendly fire. Both modes support online play and split‑screen.
Co‑op waves provide gradual upgrades as you survive longer, while versus delivers intense acrobatic showdowns against friends or random players.
- Communicate with teammates in co‑op to coordinate fire and avoid friendly fire.
- In versus, watch opponent movement patterns to anticipate swings.

Level Editor and Spider Customization
An included editor lets you design versus maps, parkour courses, and combat challenges for personal testing or sharing. The editor’s flexibility encourages community‑created content.
Spiders start bald, but achievements unlock hats, providing a visual reward tied to achievement completion.
- Start with simple editor layouts before adding complex physics elements.
- Aim for achievement milestones to collect spider hats.
