If you like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope then you’ll love Spider Jack.

While in Cut the Rope, you cut the ropes, with Spider Jack you have to traverse each level with your web. As with many titles of this ilk, players have the added option of collecting up stars as well as simply completing each stage. Indeed, this is vital if you want to unlock new levels themes such as the Bathroom and Laboratory opening up after you’ve acquired a sufficient number of stars.

In all there are 75 levels, each gradually becoming more complex than the last. Players swiftly have to learn to traverse more than just cutting the web at the right time, with the likes of electrical barriers, fans and teleports also getting in the way and requiring some very precise adjustments. Some levels are pretty challenging but in the typical addictive way that means players will continue to try again until they succeed. The blessing and curse of a game centered around such brief levels means that there’s always time for ‘one more go’ same as in Angry Birds, isn’t it?

For the price, Spider Jack offers just what fans of Chillingo’s past games will adore. 75 levels is plenty to start out with and there’s already a promise of new levels to be added in a future update. This one has enough potential to be as huge as its older siblings: Angry Birds and Cut the Rope.
