Lazersilk

About

Lazersilk casts you as a spider defending your web from waves of intruders. Navigate the elliptical web to gather flies and flower petals before they rot and create impassable gaps. Wasps sting if touched, rival spiders drop from above, and tiny pests gnaw through your threads. Enemies actively pursue you as the web degrades over time. Your reflexes determine whether you preserve your home or watch it figure out. This 1982 Apple II original stands out for its tense resource management and varied threats. The shifting web layout forces adaptability as obstacles multiply. While simplistic by modern standards, its frantic pacing and escalating difficulty made it a cult favorite among retro arcade fans. The blend of collection and defense mechanics feels surprisingly modern for its era.
