Arachnid Wars 1.5 is a fun turn-based strategy spider-combat game. If I were you, I’d just skip the tutorial because its really annoying and play skirmish. I beat medium difficulty on skirmish on the first try so its not that hard. They key to this game is being patient. It took me many many rounds to destroy the enemy, but I had a decisive victory in the end. Do not try to rush the enemy at the beginning, this will not work. This will only allow him to climb the evolution tree faster. Instead, wait for him to attack and try to group all your units together to attack together.

Also remember that a few good units are better than lots of crappy units so climb the tech tree fast while spending maybe 4-5 points on intelligence along the way to let you summon more advanced creeps. The computer generally only sends 2-3 spiders at a time and they kind of move randomly so they don’t reach you and attack at the same time. This allows you to kill more enemies and get ahead in the tech tree. Move your hurt spiders out of battle as you don’t want the enemies to kill them and advance the tech tree. Blue spiders may look weak but the extra 2 move-points per turn is a lifesaver.
Get the green poison spider as fast as possible. The purpose of these spiders is to bite each spider once to poison them and then quickly move on to bite another spider.

Advance in the tech tree as fast as possible to the yellow agipe and spend the 15 points to get it. After that spend a few intelligence points so you can quickly get 2 of them. Keep the agipes in the back behind your melee line as they are very efficient ranged fighters. With agipes, you can start on the offensive. if the enemy has gotten poison spiders at this point, be sure to target those first and try to not let them attack. After the yellow agipe, get some intelligence points and then move on to the more advanced melee spiders. At this point, your ranged/melee combination should easily be able to win the game.

Zombie vs. Hamster is a funky little fighting game where you choose between being the zombie or the hamster and have to fight the opposition. I played the hamster part all the way through and found that while the mechanics to this game are okay, the game was really repetitive. The enemies don’t get any harder the higher you move in the ladder and games basically just devolved into a lot of button mashing. It was pretty easy to beat the game and may be a good time-killer for 5 minutes or so, but not much to play after that.

To beat this game all you have to do is to mash the jump button ad the direction button going towards your opponent and mash the ‘z’ key as well and you will always pwn your opponent. Pretty simple.
