The game plays as a side-scrolling action platformer with linear stage progression. Spider-Man can move, jump, climb walls, and attack with punches or web shots. Levels feature enemy encounters, hazards, and sections that require careful platforming or wall traversal. Boss fights cap off key stages and usually demand pattern recognition, spacing, and timing rather than complex combos.

Strategy
Learn the rhythm of wall-climbing and jumping early, as positioning is crucial for survival. Keep distance when possible to avoid getting trapped by enemy contact damage. During boss fights, watch attack cues and strike during recovery windows rather than rushing in. Conserving health for later stages can make the game much more manageable.
