You do not directly kill any enemies, webbing them results in a temporary stun, and touching an enemy will gradually do damage over time to you. You can crouch as well, and cling to ceilings and walls. You're only tools available are jumping, and shooting a line of web in 8 directions. The fact that you turn into a skelton freaked me out as a kid too as you die. So it's not what you'd expect, especially considering other games around that time such as double dragon and other superhero games. I remember as a kid not being able to do this in a spiderman game was very frustrating to me at first, but I grew to enjoy the game for what it was (not a side scroller beat em up). Well when you play a spiderman game you'd probably expect to be able to kick and punch people, and directly kill enemies. This game is truly a DOS generation gem and I'd recommend it to anyone. The game is actually designed quite well, with puzzles that are not only challenging but fun (for the most part) and very unique. I can see why most kids did not like the game, however in today's gaming society it would've faired much better. It was much less focused on action and beat-em-up, and far more focused on solving puzzles and avoiding un-necessary conflict. This game was a little ahead of its time, to be honest.
