3	A NSFW Flash game made by Anna Anthropy and hosted by Creator/AdultSwim. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin You play a spider-like lesbian queen of Mars]] and use a magical [[AllWebbedUp web-projecting beam]] to recapture your rebellious slaves; graphics and sounds give it a [[{{Retraux}} classic arcade feel.]]

6	----
7	!!Provides examples of:
8	* AllWebbedUp: Your primary attack in game. Despite the half-spider protagonist, the webbing shoots [[RayGun like a laser]] out of a MagicStaff.
9	* {{Animesque}}: The cutscenes have this kind of look to them.
10	* AttractMode: It will periodically display a picture of the Queen and a Martian girl respectfully shaking hands, with the title "all power exchange has to be negotiated!" This nod to healthy sex characterizes the Spider Queen as an EthicalSlut who values safety and consent.
11	* UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}}: This deliberately-cheesy game may be understood as an exploration of BDSM (made by a Creator who practices and advocates it). If so, then the Queen's tyrannical attitude is [[UnreliableNarrator not to be taken literally]]. The combat is actually kinky roleplay, and a slew of tropes are played [[CastFullOfGay no straighter than]] the lesbian characters.
12	** BondageIsBad: No, the characters think It's Good, but the Queen certainly leans into this to enhance her role as a CardCarryingVillain. [[spoiler: Her rival does the same.]]
13	** CasualKink: Yes. Everyone is doing BDSM.
14	** {{Dominatrix}}: Certainly, your PlayerCharacter.
15	** DressedLikeADominatrix: No, ironically {{Averted}} because she is not dressed at all.
16	** EthicalSlut: Yes, everyone, especially the promiscuous protagonist.
17	** EvilVersusEvil: No, it's more like [[spoiler: Dom vs. Dom, each trying to be a more spectacular bitch than the other]].
18	** ExaltedTorturer: A joke. The Queen boasts of her prowess in inflicting punishment and frames it as "discipline." Instead, it's kinky fun for everyone involved.
19	** HappinessInSlavery: In a way. Your Martian slaves are submissives, and it's implied that they are only dissatisfied because you don't tie them up ''enough'' for their liking. Each level demands you redress that grievance.
20	** MischiefForPunishment: Yes, your slaves are eager for their sexy Queen to crush their rebellion. [[spoiler: And the rival Queen who incited it expects the harshest punishment you can muster.]]
21	** PlayfulPursuit: Yes, you chase down and tie up your disobedient slaves, which is a turn-on for all involved.
22	** QuestionableConsent: No. The Queen threatens that she will have her way with her lovers whether they like it or not -- of course, she is a dominant and sexual aggression is part of the role. The AttractMode reveals consent and boundaries being discussed. The only ambiguous case is [[spoiler: the Tarantula Queen's threat to force compliance with MindControl]], and even this is probably okay with the intimately-familiar participants.
23	** SafeSaneAndConsensual: Yes, the PlayfulPursuit and capture that is the gameplay is ultimately all in good fun.
24	** SexSlave: Not really, the Martian girls in the Queen's harem are submissives there by choice. They are eager for their Queen to recapture them.
25	** TooKinkyToTorture: Of course. If you beat the game and [[spoiler: defeat the Tarantula Queen, the victorious Spider Queen declares she will tie up her rival and let the slaves use her for BDSM practice. This seems more like [[{{Unishment}} a dream come true]] for the Tarantula Queen]].
26	** VillainProtagonist: Not really, but the titular Queen embraces a [[TheBaroness sexy villainess]] role and really [[LargeHam hams it up]].
27	* CastFullOfGay: Everyone is lesbian.
28	* CensorBox: Used to censor the nipples of the girls in the [adult swim] version. They also appear "glitchy" for some reason, making them border on {{Pixellation}}.
29	* CuteMonsterGirl: All of the characters, from the titular Queen [[spoiler: and her ex-lover]] to the slaves she is trying to recapture. The former looks like a beautiful woman's upper torso mounted on the lower body of a giant spider, [[OurCentaursAreDifferent drider-style]], while the latter are essentially HumanAliens, being pretty women with unnatural red or yellow skin tones (which the Spider Queens share with them).
30	* DigitalBikini: The icon for the game under [adult swim]'s website paints a gold metal bra over the Spider Queen. She lacks such a garment in the game proper.
31	* DragonsPreferPrincesses: Many slaves in your rebellious harem are princesses: cute Martian girls wearing tiaras.
32	* {{Fanservice}}: While the premise is played for laughs, it's still a game about casually topless lesbian bondage, complete with a few cutscenes showing the Queen and her slaves up close.
33	* FullFrontalAssault: Most of the rebels and both queens go around completely nude. A few {{Mooks}} wear loose robes or weapons that conceal almost nothing.
34	* GiantSpider: A partial example...[[{{Pun}} the lower part]].
35	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: The Queen's subjects, though their skin is actually yellow or red.
36	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: The Player Character is a tyrannical lesbian dominatrix who keeps a harem of nubile Martian women. A revolt has broken out, so you have to recapture and "re-educate" your unruly slaves. [[spoiler: Your rival, the Tarantula Queen, seeks to overthrow you and take your place.]]
37	* HaremSeeker: The Queen is a particularly aggressive one.
38	* HypnoRay: The Queen's MagicStaff is a variant. It forces its target into submission in both a physical and kinky sense.
39	* ItsAWonderfulFailure: Get a GameOver and you get to see your slaves tying ''you'' up. If you choose to continue instead of quit, a loyal slave will use a knife to cut the Queen loose. [[spoiler:If you get a GameOver at the final boss, you get an alternate screen where she has you bound to a web.]]
40	* KillItWithFire: Alchemists leave trails of fire behind them.
41	* KneelBeforeZod: Your character may command this as she subdues a slave.
42	* LargeHam: The Queen's VoiceGrunting demonstrates she doesn't pass up an opportunity to show off or gloat.
43	* LoveMakesYouDumb: Maybe the Spider Queen never [[spoiler: got over her ex-girlfriend, the Tarantula Queen. It is suggested that their breakup left the Spider Queen sulking and inattentive to the needs of her harem, which displeased them and made them willing to rebel]].
44	* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:Your bitter ex-girlfriend is running the rebellion from behind the scenes because your relationship didn't work out.]]
45	** {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler: In the FinalBoss battle, she intends to use MindControl to force you to love her again.]]
46	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Armored opponents carry huge shields that can block the web beam. They can only attacked from behind or the sides.
47	* MagicStaff / StaffOfAuthority: The Spider Queen's scepter. It enhances her ability to [[AllWebbedUp Web Up]] Martians.
48	* MetalSlime: Princesses. This type of opponent is mostly harmless and awards the largest point bonus. They are also fast and difficult to catch before they disappear.
49	* MindControlDevice: The [[spoiler: Tarantula Queen's scepter.]]
50	* MirrorBoss: At the end, [[spoiler: it's Queen against Queen, each wielding a powerful scepter]]. Your PlayerCharacter moves and attacks differently from all the {{Mooks}} you face, but [[spoiler: you and your rival are almost perfectly matched]].
51	* OneGenderRace: No male Martians are seen or mentioned.
52	* OrcusOnHerThrone: The Queen acts the part of an EvilOverlord, but doesn't seem to be doing any administrative work, only having BDSM fun.
53	* PlanetaryRomance: The setting.
54	* {{Retraux}}: Reminiscent of mid-80's arcades. ''Wizard of Wor'' and ''Sinistar'' are cited as influence.
55	* SeductiveSpider: The queen's arachnid features are presented in a way that only makes her more powerful and sexy.
56	* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Everyone in the game goes topless. The Spider Queens are technically completely naked (jewelry aside), but do not have humanoid lower halves. The game's itch.io description even says that the it's "not recommended for people who are uncomfortable with the thought of a half-human half-arachnid space dominatrix eschewing a bra."
57	* ShedArmorGainSpeed: Armored opponents move slowly, but if they are not defeated quickly, they will lose patience and drop their shields, becoming much faster.
58	* SlaveLiberation: The premise of the game. The Martian women are dissatisfied with the treatment they get as part of the Spider Queen's harem, so they rebel against her. [[spoiler: The Tarantula Queen put them up to it, inciting the revolt to retaliate against her ex-lover.]]
59	* SpiderPeople: The eponymous Spider Queens.
60	* TractorBeam: Your scepter will slowly pull captured slaves toward you.
61	* TurnsRed: Slaves who get out of your web turn red, move faster and don't leave a crystal behind if you catch them again.
62	* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[spoiler: In the ending, the Queen accepts that she's not going to live forever, and starts training the Princesses to inherit her throne and her harem.]]
63	* VoiceGrunting: The Player Character celebrates successful moves with triumphant quips. Fitting to the {{Retraux}} aesthetic, the sound is bit-crushed.
64	* WalkingShirtlessScene: Everybody. If [[{{Retraux}} the sprites]] come off as making it hard to tell, the cutscene images clear things up.
65	* WebGames: With [[{{Pun}} extra web]].
