Hitch a ride on a Pit People Spidaur

What do you do when you run into obstacles in your path? Some fighters go around them, while some become that obstacle. Pit People’s Spidaurs do the latter!
 
Part spider, part woman, these well-rounded Spidaurs fight with what they’re most known for–their webs and legs!
 
There are tons of levels in Pit People with varying terrain. Spidaurs can use taller objects that are closeby (such as large trees or statues) to create an insurmountable wall of webbing. Every fighter type will be limited in the paths they can take once that wall goes up. The amount of utility these ladies bring to a fight demands respect!

Spidaurs can also cast webs to one another! In the GIF above, we see our old friend the Cupcake, healing the Spidaur after it walked through flames caused by the enemy Pixie. More noteably, that Pixie is completely closed off by web walls and cannot go anywhere! If that Cupcake was just one more hex away from the Pixie, it’d have nothing to shoot at. Woops!


While Spidaur webbing can be used as a defensive tactic, they can also deal some damage using their legs.
 
Spidaur appendages are appropriately dressed with stylish socks to show off their high kicks in battle. There’s also a decent chance for the attack to snare enemies!

Archers and Cupcakes on the Spidaur’s team can also hitch a ride on the back of a Spidaur! The two can form a roaming fortress of hurting or healing! On top of that, the rider won’t take damage while on the Spidaur because the Spidaur takes any attack made by the enemy team.
 
Overall, the Spidaur has great defensive abilities for herself and her teammates – but she’s no stranger to offensive capabilities, either.

TL;DR
*Spidaurs can create a wall of web that attaches to a tall obstacle or to another Spidaur
*Spidaurs can attack with kicks and web netting
*Archers and Cupcakes can ride on a Spidaur, which provides extra protection

Big Explosions, Little Pixies in Pit People

We’ve shown you several types of fighters in previous Pit People reveals, such as Robots & Mushrooms, but this next one may just be too hot to handle. If you like playing with explosives & fire, then the fighter of your choice could be our Pixies!

Indie Game Magazine recently did a cover story on Pit People where we talked about the game development at length and highlighted the Pixies for the first time. If you haven’t had a chance to read it, we highly recommend getting a copy of the issue HERE. It has lots of colorful pictures and delicious words in our interview with IGM.
 
Now, we’re going to show you some of the attacks we mentioned in the IGM article… because seeing is believing:
