Take control of the eight-legged, amoral abomination guarding the Acid Web and nullify a concerted effort by thousands of hostile infidels to dispel its powerful curse.

Acid Web savours the essence of the brutal aesthetics and straight forward gameplay mechanics of the earliest classics of the twin stick shooter genre, but only knows them by diffuse, distant memory.

This game will seriously challenge your reflexes and spatial awareness. Don't wait! The Acid Web demands your sacrifice!

• Blast through a hundred hand-crafted, yet slightly randomized waves using a variety of devastating weaponry

• Manage risk and reward as you decide whether to dive in to power up your destructive FACE BEAM or to stay out of harm's way

• Carve your name or favorite obscenity into the top of the local high-score list

• Destroy thousands of seagulls, the worst birds of them all

• Build a wardrobe of collectible baubles, hats and wigs to turn your deadly campaign against everything else into a fashion statement

• Enjoy the infinite, continuous mix of procedurally generated streaming-friendly techno and electro music that reacts to your movement. I have no claim to the music: your computer composes and produces it on the fly as you play

• Launch yourself into the action within seconds thanks to instant load times and near total lack of pomp and ceremony

• Satisfy your curiosity and tinker to your heart's content with the in-game sound effect and music template editors (no workshop support)

• Linux support is not an afterthought; we love Linux more than an ominous spider-skull ever could
