Lt. Fly vs. the Spiders from Above is an intense action/puzzle game by Teravision Games. The goal of the game is to get bullets to shoot the spiders that are falling down from the top of the screen. The player gets bullets for their gun by making matches of four of a kind on the puzzle board. The puzzle board is on the left side of the screen and the spiders fall from the top, but stay from the middle of the screen to the right. There are bullets, as well as bombs and flame throwers, buried in the puzzle boards. As the player matches four of the same colored blocks, they disappear. The goal is to get the bullets to the bottom of the screen. Once the bullets hit the bottom they go into your inventory and you can shoot the spiders.

There is “special ammo” scattered among the board, which take the form of flame throwers and bombs. The flame thrower shoots flame for about 10 seconds taking out any spiders in the area you are pointing the flame. The bombs fall down from the top of the screen and explode when they hit the bottom of the screen. The explosion takes out all of the spiders in the blast radius. Both the flame thrower and the bombs are activated by clicking on the icon below the puzzle board. The flame throwers and bombs are attained the same way the player attains the bullets.

Players make matches of colored blocks by changing the block in the top of the board with a block of their choice on the board. Like many match three type games, the block that you are placing on the board is a random color that you have to use to the best of your ability. The groups of four blocks of the same color need to be vertical, horizontal, a square formation or vertical and horizontal. In other words, they can not be in a diagonal layout.

Lt. Fly vs. the Spiders from Above is intense because you need to manage two different games at the same time. Players need to get bullets from the puzzle board and use them against the falling spiders. The spiders are constantly falling as you are trying to get bullets to shoot them with. The spiders fall at different speeds and, in the beginning levels, you are able to get some bullets and shoot spiders before too many hit the ground. Players have a health meter and when spiders hit the ground they do damage. When the players health meter is gone, you are dead and the game is over. Players have to kill the allotted number of spiders for each level, which increases with the level, before their health runs out. The player’s health stays the same through out all of the levels and does not get reset when you complete a level. In other words you start each level with the health you had when the level before ended, not full health. The ammo carries over from the previous level as well.

Lt. Fly vs. the Spiders from Above contains sixteen different levels, which may not sound like a lot, but the levels get challenging. Sixteen is enough to keep players occupied for a while. The game is insanely fun and addicting. It is hard to manage both the puzzle aspect and shooting the spiders, but the challenge adds to the fun. If you are looking for a fun game to play, then definitely check out Lt. Fly vs. the Spiders from Above.

Have fun!
