THE STORY BEHIND THE SWING

Small spider. Big forest.

WebTug is a quick, friendly arcade game built around one simple idea: the spider can only change course by firing and releasing its web.

WHAT IS WEBTUG?

WebTug is an original, browser-based timing game. Hold the screen, mouse, or spacebar to send out a web and pull upward. Release to let gravity take over. Your job is to guide the spider cleanly through each opening in the forest without touching the trees.

The controls are intentionally simple, but every run feels a little different. A long hold can save a fall and create the next problem. A short release can line up the perfect gap. The challenge comes from finding that rhythm.

BUILT TO SHARE

Each tree gap is worth one point. WebTug remembers your best score in your browser, and a challenge link lets you send a score for a friend to beat. The link carries the target score, so the other player can open it on their own phone and start the challenge.

No account is required. If you clear your browser storage or switch devices, the locally saved best score may not follow you.

THE DESIGN

The game pairs a lightly pixel-shaped spider and menu system with a smoother daytime forest. The warm-gray spider, green tree trunks, small villages, yellow sun, and bright score effects are designed to feel welcoming while keeping obstacles easy to read at a glance.

WebTug is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by another game, studio, or franchise.
