    I'm not sure if this has already been implemented, i haven't seen any posts in the forum about it or any screenshots of creatures crawling on walls, it has mainly been creatures walking on the ground and then fall off cliffs and such.

    What i'm suggesting is a creature that has the ability to climb on walls (on top of walls and up the side etc.).

    I think it would good if there were creatures like this that would spawn in caves and such something like a spider or some other weird alien creepy crawly that would shoot things at you from the wall (above or were ever they may be) or possibly just jump at you from above (like a head crab), it would create a kinda sudden attack that might startle the player adding a bit of a horror element to the game.

    Thats my suggestion anyways let me know what you guys think!
    Thanks. :)

    I like the idea, makes the enemies a little bit more difficult to hit :up:

    I can already imagine myself walking around dungeon,when suddenly 3 big ass spiders jump down from the ceiling and try to eat me.

    Sweet idea!
    Would be neat if we could get tech that allows us to climb and crawl up walls, hang on ledges, etc.
    Think mega man style wall sliding or something, baha...
    It sounds awesome but imagine all the work. Each sprite and overlay for clothing, armour, etc would have to be made for the animations.
    That's thousands of new frames of animations.

    They could probably get away with mobs doing it by rotating the sprites though!

    Yeah most of the creatures i've seen so far are just like stuck to the ground making them pretty easy to hit, something that jumps around and sticks to walls would be cool especially in groups which would make for a challenge.

    That would be awesome :p
    i havent seen any yet but then again i might have missed that, i'll probabaly check his streams again later just to be sure X3

    I like this idea. the creepy, unexpected attack from the darkness. would make gameplay far more interesting.

    That would add a lot of variety to the gameplay! Maybe it could be added to higher level planets, and not really exist in the lower ones, because it would be a more difficult enemy.

    Really? Crawling on walls wouldn't increase the difficulty of anything drastically, since in most situations they will be in cramped areas where it's easy to hit them, if they're in open areas and far away they will still have to get close to you to attack or if they're ranged it will be much easier to avoid their attacks if they aren't close enough for you to hit them with a melee weapon.
