About the gameplay.
The game also contains gift mechanics of survival for a spider insect. In which players can take a completely different look at the game. To pass in survival, the player will have to control one spider, which protects its nest from ants and insects.
It will be possible to observe what is happening from the top. And to help the brave spider, the construction of protective buildings will be available. Some of them, the same ants, are only chained to one place and can temporarily detain enemies.
You can only control one spider, even when building a web in which another spider is present. The installed web works in an automatic state, when enemies approach, a spider runs out of the nest and drags one small enemy into the web. But when large opponents approach, the spider sits in its nest. In this case, you will have to run with the main spider to repel the attack.
The main spider has a system for pumping his skills and abilities. All installed buildings can be pumped by increasing the level of the protective structure. Defensive structures will have increased characteristics and increased damage, and more spiders can be in the web.

About the spider’s abilities in the game Empires of the Undergrowth.
The spider has 3 active abilities that can be improved and increased their effectiveness.
- Poisonous attack
The spider spits out poisonous saliva upon use. The saliva that falls on the ground forms a puddle that deals damage in a small radius for a certain amount of time.
Effectively used when enemies are passing the web and are close to each other. The ability is very useful when attacking strong attacking enemy insects.
- Destructive poison.
An activated ability that hits enemies from a distance. After use, slows down enemies and increases poison damage by 20%.
Better to level up first, as the pursuit of stolen gifts can be difficult. And if you do not pump it in the first place, then most likely a few gifts will be taken away on the first wave.
- Absorption
The spider can replenish health by eating insects. A very important and useful function, since due to health, the spider can build protective structures. In addition, health gradually decreases, and the full scale of health is replenished only after increasing the level.
