›Story
The spider - mankind’s most ancient and deadly nemesis. As a licensed Kill It With Fire exterminator, it’s time to fight back! Assemble your arsenal of increasingly excessive weapons, track spiders across suburbia, and burn everything in your path!
To defeat spiders you must exploit their one weakness: FIRE. Or bullets. pretty much anything, really. But that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy - first, you’ve gotta find the spiders.
Use state-of-the-art arachnid tracking technology to pinpoint your target's location among hundreds of potential hiding spots - then, torch everything and smash the spider with a frying pan after it runs out. It’s the only way to be sure.

Gameplay
The game is similar to a first-person shooter. The player controls an exterminator, who needs to eliminate every spider hidden throughout 9 levels. Each level has a set number of spiders hidden underneath objects with certain areas of the level and the level's exit blocked by doors requiring a certain number of spiders be killed. The player starts with a clipboard as a weapon, but can find additional weapons hidden throughout the game, including shotguns, molotov cocktails, a frying pan and throwing stars.
Each level additionally has optional objectives, some of which are unrelated to killing spiders; the objectives reward the player with upgrades between levels. Completing every objective in a level unlocks "Spider gauntlets", additional challenges which alter the game's final level. Throughout the game different types of spiders are present, such as explosive spiders, spiders that spawn smaller ones upon death and spiders that shoot webbing at the player's screen.
Reception
The game received "mixed or average reviews" according to review aggregator Metacritic. OpenCritic determined that 51% of critics recommended the game.
Jupiter Hadley of Pocket Gamer gave the game 4 of 5 stars, praising the game's premise and optional objectives, while critiquing the controls. Multiplayer.it gave the game 7/10, citing the game's art style, concept and setting, but disliked the game's performance and controls. Push Square also gave the game a 7 out of 10, highlighting the game's sound design, though criticizing the game's short length.
