This game is a short, fun physics-based puzzle platformer. The puzzles are structured around physics objects, their interactions, and your ability to coarsely manipulate them by spinning webs. It really feels like a game with no cheating, in that you really only have two ways to spin web, ("pull things toward you" vs "pull two things together" webs,) & the entire game stems from your clever (and careful!) use of these two mechanics. It can often be clunky, layering web over web to inch a box towards the ceiling, but I respect the truth in its systems. The game also preserves the position of all physics objects within the save data, so you never need to spin new webs to backtrack, and old, messy puzzle solutions may remain as monuments to your incompetence.
This approach... isn't perfect. For example, I needed to connect a series of rubber tubes in order to supply fuel to a war machine. This quest is incomplete if there are any breaks in the line between the source tank and the machine. I thought I had completed the task, but the NPC disagreed. I soon realized my earlier reckless web-swinging had disconnected the final tube from the machine itself. I hadn't simply knocked it to the side; I'd no-clipped the end of hose into the machine's body. While the tube appeared to be connected to the hull, the very end of the tube wasn't touching the hull's surface, so the line was broken.
I devoted at least a half-hour of play time to breaking this softlock, webbing the exposed tube to moving platforms overhead trying to pull the blasted thing out. Because of truth in systems, I needed to fix a fuel line that wasn't actually part of the puzzle, because while the tube was pre-attached, it was made using the same physics object used in the puzzle. Because physics objects are preserved in the save, I couldn't reset this area without starting a new game. (Note: There's a different area which DOES allow you to reset all physics objects. I assume softlocks were more common there.)
