Entrant’s description

Fire Boris the spider around the screen, connect the pins and make a web. Then watch as the flies whiz past and get caught in the web. The better the web, the more flies you’ll catch. It isn’t rocket science, but it’s a lot of fun! You will find Arachnadoodle hard to put down and as you spin your way through its 32 levels you’ll encounter all sorts of obstacles in your quest for flys. With 32 rooms, over eight houses to explore you will be spinning webs for a very long time to come.
