The game mixes side-scrolling action with mission progression across city zones and interior stages. Players control Spider-Man using jumps, wall-crawling, melee combos, and web-based movement. One screen handles most of the action while the other is used for map, status, and some touch input. Beyond story objectives, players respond to street crimes and timed events. Progress unlocks additional missions, areas, and boss encounters that test movement and evasive timing.

Strategy
Learn the rhythm of web-swinging early, since efficient movement helps in both patrol events and chase missions. Against groups, interrupt close enemies first and then disable ranged attackers with web attacks or fast pressure. During city tasks, clear nearby incidents before crossing the map to save time. In boss fights, watch for attack wind-ups, dodge with short jumps or wall movement, then punish during recovery frames.
