Released in 2020 for iOS, Spyder is an action game developed by Sumo Digital in which players control Agent 8, a miniature robotic spider created by the fictional British intelligence organization EP-8. Set in a retro-styled universe, the game centers on infiltration and sabotage missions carried out at a tiny scale. Agent 8 is equipped with an array of spy gadgets and uses them to interact with the environment in specific ways — cutting through panels, overloading terminals, flipping switches, and opening valves. These mechanics form the basis of gameplay as the spider navigates its surroundings to disrupt the operations of various antagonists. The premise blends espionage themes with the novelty of playing as a spider-sized robot, grounding its puzzles and objectives in the physical manipulation of miniaturized environments.
