The game

What is Spider Hunter?

Spider Hunter is a landscape arcade shooter for phones and tablets, inspired by the cabinet fishing games. Instead of fish, cute creepy-crawlies walk across a forest floor: ladybugs, beetles, scorpions, butterflies and spiders of every rarity, up to giant boss spiders.

Sit at the centre cannon, drag to aim and fire. Each shot costs coins, and a catch pays a multiple of the shot, from 2 times for a ladybug to 500 times for the Queen Spider. Coins are for fun only: they have no cash value and cannot be cashed out.

boss spiders: 4

Highlights

What makes it fun

Drag to aim, hold to fire
Drag anywhere on the board to aim the centre cannon; it fires while your finger is down. Bullets bounce off the edges up to three times, and an Auto button keeps firing for you.
Rarities and multipliers
Ladybug 2x, Common Spider 3x, Speedy Spider 5x, Beetle 8x, Armoured Spider 15x, Butterfly 20x, Scorpion 30x, Ghost Spider 40x and the Golden Spider at 100x.
Boss spiders
A warning banner, then the boss crawls in: the Queen Spider at 500x, the Rock Crab Spider and the Mecha Spider, with the Pumpkin Spider built for a Halloween event.
Eight guns
Basic, Rapid, Spread, Net, Ice, Lightning, Laser and Poison, unlocked as you level up. Each changes how a shot lands: fans, nets, chains, beams and clouds.
Skills
Spider Net, Freeze, Bomb and Lock-On sit in the skill bar under the cannon, ready to throw on a crowd or lock onto a boss.
Collect them all
Rare catches drop a card: keep it to add a star to the creature in your Collection, or sell it for coins. Daily missions, Big Win and Mega Win banners keep the table lively.
