    You know how a game could take advantage of that web traversal ? They would need some big enemies, with a few weakspot very high, so that you would need to sling around them to find and hit them. You could call those big enemies something like Giant. And since the weakspot mechanic is so integral to the game play you could call the game Hit on Giant. That name might need work.

As it is general knowledge around the goons that Spidey is the "nicest" hero to fight against despite his quips.
      With Spidey, most they would get out of is getting webbed and beat-up.

    Funny thing about Spiderman and villains he personally knows: in the olden days, Steve Ditko wanted the Green Goblin to be some random guy (since anybody could be evil), but Stan Lee wanted to emphasize melodrama (hence all the Osborn shenanigans).

    The cloak aspect reminds me I think of either a cheat or special Spiderman costume in the old original "Spiderman 2000" game for PC and PS1 that allowed you to cloak as well, making you invisible to enemies. Though I always liked that Spiderman game because of the "unique" aspects of the plot and gameplay mechanics (at least as far as 2000 games go) and of course the "What If" mode that changed some aspects of the game to be more ridiculous and funny (Black Cat can't stop dancing, go up to a blimp and fight a police helicopter, Scorpion's "Here's Johnny!" and Marco Polo between him and JJJ, Mysterio's head bowl has a golden fish, fog producers become GIANT BANANAS etc.)

      If you don't give your player the chance to screw up, then you're holding their hand and it's boring.
      That's why (for example) Subnautica's hook shot system is so fun to move with.
      Long story short, you shoot a hook and it connects to surfaces for you to swing with. But you HAVE to aim it, and missing the shot will cause it to just flop and leave you mid-air and falling (since the mech walker can't really swim, it needs the hook for good mobility.)

      Giving the player the option to try things and fail is fun.
      Also, here's a quick and easy fix for, "what if u get lost."
      Initiate an auto-save at the start of the chase, and give the player the option to load that save from the menu real quick.
