Hi,

I find this game. (Actually, I like to search for various 'BASIC' games on Itch.io.) The game looks quite interesting! May I ask a question? Was the game also created with QB64? Thanks a lot!

Hi. Thank you for your interest in Spiderbro! The engine I made for the game was built entirely with QB64 :)

I see.

The focus of this game is not on visual effects. Good!!! Why? Many indie games are with good graphics or excellent visual effects. However, their gameplay are only mediocre. Spiderbro is different from them.

The user base of QB64 should be large because the official forum looks very active! However, it is not a game language. Thus not too many popular indie games were released.

I hope that Spiderbro will be popular and successful, yes!

Thank you for your kind words! I hope the final release lives up to your expectations. :)
