The game was a reskin of a cancelled South Park game which Acclaim Interactive were developing in 1998.[2] The game still contains South Park assets in its game files.[3]

Gameplay

The game features over 120 levels. Each of the levels include a number of tricky puzzles that must be solved before you can rescue one of your insect-friends, trapped behind a spider's web. You can control three insects, each possessing different abilities. For example, Maya is the only character able to pull switches and Flip allows the characters to leap to higher places.[4][5]

Reception

IGN rated the game a 6/10.[6] Total! rated the game 2/6 while praising the music and tricky puzzles thought the graphics were "boring".[7]
