The player controls Buddy, a female jumping peacock spider, with the gameplay functionality centering mostly around her webbing abilities of which two different types can be used for varying means. Typical of puzzle platformers in 2D, it has a simple, non-linear gameplay style that encourages players into exploring and revisiting areas of the open and interconnected map space to fully discover the 5 distinct areas. It was later ported to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on February 2, 2022. The finished game was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux on 9 September 2021. In October 2019, a prototype of Webbed was published on the indie game website Itch.io. The player can use spider webs to swing to different areas, create bridges, or move objects. A physics-based game set in a fantasy version of Queensland, players control a peacock spider whose goal is to rescue her boyfriend after he is kidnapped by a bowerbird, with the help of other bugs.
Webbed is a 2021 2D adventure puzzle platform game developed and published by Australian, Brisbane-based studio Sbug Games.
