The Hungry Spider Returns!

For those of you who have joined us since last time, welcome to our infamously difficult Halloween level, which will earn its conquerors the rarest achievement in Empires of the Undergrowth. To celebrate this time around we've made an updated 4k trailer with the newer environment artwork. Enjoy!

The Hungry Spider's cobweb appears around Halloween and on full moons, and he's absolutely ravenous. Help him grow and defeat his enemies in a gluttonous fury as he stalks a web-shaped map. His hunger causes him to constantly lose health - quickly unlocking the 'devour' ability is paramount as it'll keep him alive. Take down bigger and stronger prey, upgrading his abilities as you go.

EDIT: A bit of bad news re: the Hungry Spider livestream, but hopefully a good compromise too:

Mike was due to do the 'One Chip Challenge' if he fails the Hungry Spider level live on stream at the weekend. However, after looking into the challenge we have decided that he should not do it. We apologise to anyone looking forward to his reaction.

Although the chip is a food and adheres to food standards, we do not want to encourage anyone else to participate in the activity and as such will not be doing it.

So, as and alternative (and because John has ruined Mike's fun), John will eat a scoop full of mixed preserved insects - a mix of buffalo worms, meal worms, crickets and locusts - each time Mike defeats an uber creature. Bigger insects the further Mike gets into the level.
