Because there isn't anything else that makes sense.

Note the date, February 26.

The spider will be similar to the robot in the fact that you will be able to determine its jump height. However, unlike the robot, holding your finger will not jump perform an immediate scaled jump, but instead generate spring into the jump that will occur only once you release your finger. The longer you hold down, the higher the jump will be upon release.

While that might be all, it still seems too similar to the robot, although you would have to experience each mechanic to be able to tell. I theorise that not only will the spider move like this, but by springing onto an overhead surface, it will latch on, resulting in a switch in gravity.

Think you can guess how the spider will play out? Comment below!
