The game plays mostly as a side-scrolling action platformer with occasional vertical movement and environmental interaction. Players progress through separate Spider-Man and Green Goblin missions, each with its own combat style and objectives. Spider-Man focuses on web-based traversal, wall-crawling, aerial combos, and rescue or chase sequences. Green Goblin relies on a glider, ranged attacks, and explosive attacks for more aggressive missions. Touchscreen prompts are used for specific actions and quick inputs, and stages are cleared by completing objectives and earning progress-based results.

Spider-Man

The main hero, using webs, wall-crawling, and acrobatic combos to stop threats in the city.

Green Goblin

One of the parallel campaign leads, relying on speed, flight, and explosive attacks.

Learn the touchscreen prompts early, since some actions require quick and accurate inputs. In Spider-Man stages, use wall movement and aerial positioning to stay safe before chaining attacks. In Green Goblin missions, rely on mobility to avoid being surrounded and use area attacks to control crowds. Prioritize ranged and interrupting enemies first when groups appear.
