ArachnidSphere
Spin, match and dig to the core.
For iPhone and iPad · iOS 15 or later
ArachnidSphere is a 3D puzzle game set in deep space. Your spider stands on a planet-sized sphere covered in neon blocks. Walk it around the globe, match shapes to blast them away layer by layer, and break through to the glowing core before the clock runs out.
How to play
- Walk with the joystick, or tap any piece to walk straight to it. The sphere turns under the spider.
- Drop your held shape (the DROP button) onto a matching shape. A group of three or more of the same shape explodes. Pulsing pieces show where a drop will work.
- Slide a piece by dragging it, to line up bigger groups.
- Charges (the bomb button) go under the spider. One clears the area around it; stack several to bore straight down.
- Big clears of 5 or more pieces earn an extra charge, and 8 or more earn a wide charge.
- Skip a shape you can't use for 5 seconds off the clock.
- Scorpions roam the later worlds. If one stings the spider you lose 10 seconds. Catch one in a blast to squash it for bonus points.
Level 1-1 includes a short guided tutorial. You can replay it any time with how to play on the start screen.
Frequently asked questions
What's free, and what does the full game include?
Chapter 1 (Sol Drift, five levels) is free. A single one-time purchase unlocks the full game: chapters 2 to 5 (20 more levels across Emerald Reach, Crimson Veil, Frost Halo and Event Horizon) and free play. There are no ads, subscriptions or timers.
I bought the full game but it's locked on my new device or after reinstalling.
Make sure you're signed in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you bought it with, then tap Restore Purchases. You'll find it in the settings menu (the gear button during a level) and on the unlock screen. You won't be charged again.
The purchase says it's waiting for approval.
If Ask to Buy is turned on for your account, a family organizer needs to approve the purchase first. Once it's approved, open the game and tap Restore Purchases.
Will I lose my progress if I delete the app?
Your level progress and best scores are saved only on your device, so deleting the app erases them. Your purchase is not lost: reinstall and use Restore Purchases.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. The game works completely offline. The App Store only needs a connection when you buy or restore the full game.
There's no sound.
Check that sound effects and music are switched on in the settings menu (the gear button), and turn up your device volume. If sound stops after switching apps, tap the screen once to bring it back.
The screen won't rotate.
The game plays in portrait and landscape. If it stays in one orientation, check that Rotation Lock is off in Control Center.
How do scores work?
Every level keeps your best score. Reaching the core with time left adds a time bonus. Your total across all levels is shown on the start screen and on the chapter select screen.
