Do whatever the heck spiders do
What if spiders had lightsabers is an impeccable premise for a game, andSpiderheckdelivers on that premise with aplomb. It’s an arena fighting game geared towards couch co-op and couch competition, but there’s online play and single-player modes too. Yesterday’s"THE TRIALS OF JAZEPS" updateadded new difficulty levels to wave survival, as well as custom trials you can send to your friends.
It also chucks in some new maps with portals, because the only thing better than a lightsaber-wielding spider is a lightsaber wielding spider suddenly emerging from a portal.

It’s a rare trailer that can make me glad I’m listening to dubstep.
The Trials Of Heck are separate, and play much like wave survival except they’re short, sweet and usually themed around specific weapons. The update lets you make your own trials, choosing the map, weapons, modifiers and enemy types. You can then challenge friends to beat your trial, but only once you’ve beaten it yourself.
The update also adds a layer of Twitch integration, letting Twitch chat “vote on the perk selection during gameplay”. You can customise your controls now, too.
Spiderheckdelighted Sin Vega, uniting her “love forWebbed” with her “love for chaos”. You can only read about that if you’re anRPS supporter, though.
