Our take on Joshua's Legs
Its defining mechanic is controlling a two-legged spider by operating each leg independently, turning basic movement into the central climbing challenge.
What is Joshua's Legs?
Control a bipedal spider by moving each leg separately with the joysticks.
Crawl, climb, jump, and use webs to swing or stop a fall while exploring a mysterious lair. The world supports a direct route or detours into hidden areas and secrets. Finding prosthetic legs grants new abilities, while dragonflies can be exchanged at cloning centers and spider webs expand web-shooter capacity. Improved reach opens additional secret locations. Progress requires control, speed, precision, and consistency, leading to a final climb that is procedurally generated and changes between attempts. Completing the game is estimated at about 15 to 20 hours, although completion is not guaranteed. An original soundtrack accompanies the exploration, and a controller is strongly recommended.
